Best KBO Predictions Today (With Reasoning), October 18
There are important things to know before betting on the KBO. Luckily, if you don’t have time to do your own research, you can discover how we selected our KBO baseball picks each day.
Samsung Lions vs. Hanwha Eagles: Under 7 (-115)
Game 1 of the KBO semifinals between the Samsung Lions and Hanwha Eagles sets up as a true pitcher’s duel on Saturday. Note that this is a make-up game from yesterday’s rainout, but the pitching matchup has been pushed back a day.
It is significant to note that the total has moved down by a run. I jumped on the under 8 yesterday but am still confident there is value to be had on the under 7 (-115).
Gerson Garabito comes in with a 2.64 ERA and 1.19 WHIP, and has allowed one or fewer earned runs in three of his last four starts. Against the Eagles, he’s been untouchable, with a 0.00 ERA over 11 innings in two outings.
Meanwhile, Cody Ponce has been dominant all season: a 1.89 ERA and a staggering 17–1 record. He’s limited opponents to two or fewer earned runs in 12 of his past 15 starts and blanked the Lions over six innings in their last meeting.
Last night, Cody Ponce became the first pitcher in KBO history to strike out 250 batters in a single season
He also became the first foreign pitcher (27th overall) to put up a sub-2 ERA in Korea

With both starters locked in and previous matchups showing minimal offense, this feels like a quiet game. The under is the best play for your KBO best bets today.
