- Jeon Jun-woo – Veteran presence, .288 hitter with solid clutch hitting.
SSG Landers

Match Pick
Match Prediction: Under 9.5 runs
Both teams have shown offensive potential, but strong starting pitching from Andrew Anderson and the steady decline in SSG’s run production lately favors a lower-scoring outcome. Combined average runs per game (~8.03) also statistically supports this under line.
