Free KBO Predictions: Korean Baseball Best Bets for April 24

NC Dinos vs. Hanwha Eagles: Eagles (-155)

The Hanwha Eagles look like one of the strongest plays on the board, backed by a dominant ace and a clear pitching mismatch in this spot.

Ryu Hyun-jin takes the mound and has been outstanding to start the 2026 season. He owns a 1.50 ERA and 0.72 WHIP across 18 innings, allowing just three earned runs over three starts. His command, experience, and ability to limit hard contact make him one of the most reliable pitchers in the KBO.

At home, he’s been especially sharp, allowing just one run and three hits in five innings. Ryu’s track record speaks for itself as well, with a career 2.95 ERA and 1.18 WHIP in the KBO, solidifying his status as one of the league’s elite arms.

NC counters with Curtis Taylor, who has struggled in his first KBO season. He enters with a 5.30 ERA and 1.50 WHIP and has allowed nine earned runs over his last 8.2 innings, showing clear issues with consistency and command.

With a significant edge on the mound and the more dependable arm leading the way, Hanwha is in a strong position to control this game.

Back the Eagles on the moneyline as one of the top KBO picks today.

KT Wiz vs. SSG Landers: Wiz (-130)

The KT Wiz continue to look like one of the strongest teams in the KBO and are in a great spot to get the job done here. With a dominant starter on the mound and one of the league’s best offenses behind him, KT holds a clear edge.

Caleb Boushley has been a major addition to the rotation and is off to an incredible start. He enters with a 0.78 ERA and 1.13 WHIP across 23 innings, showing excellent command and an ability to limit damage. He’s adjusted seamlessly to the KBO and gives KT a strong advantage in this matchup.

Caleb Boushley of the KT Wiz has emerged as one of the early standout pitchers in the KBO for a simple reason: he throws far more kinds of pitches than most of his peers, and hitters have struggled to keep up. https://t.co/Mm73dnA5IR

SSG counters with Kim Keon-woo, who has struggled to find consistency. He owns a 5.00 ERA and 1.39 WHIP over 18 innings, and his issues with run prevention could be exposed against a high-powered lineup.

Offensively, KT has been elite, leading the league with a .289 team batting average and 131 RBIs. That consistent production should create plenty of scoring opportunities.

With the edge in starting pitching and a top-tier offense backing him, KT is well-positioned to control this game. Back the Wiz on the moneyline as one of the top KBO plays today.
