Team Key Players
KT Wiz
- William Cuevas – Veteran starter with excellent command, known for slowing down opponent momentum early.
- Bae Jeong-dae – Defensive cornerstone in the outfield with game-changing plays.
- Moon Sang-cheol – A rising hitter who has shown consistency in key moments.
Kiwoom Heroes
- Kenny Rosenberg – A reliable foreign pitcher who mixes his pitches well and controls the tempo.
- Choi Joo-hwan – A veteran bat who can step up in the absence of top sluggers like Yasiel Puig and Lee Jung-hoo.

Game Prediction
Considering both teams’ recent low-scoring tendencies, strong starting pitching, and absence of major offensive contributors due to injuries, the game pick leans toward a total under 8.5 runs. KT Wiz has a slight edge due to home-field familiarity and more balanced pitching depth, but Kiwoom can’t be overlooked if their bullpen holds up.
