Prediction: Kia Tigers VS Doosan Bears 2025-06-03
The Doosan Bears, fresh off the resignation of their manager Lee Seung-yup, are looking to turn their season around with interim manager Jo Sung-hwan at the helm. And what better way to do that than by facing off against the Kia Tigers? I mean, it's not like they're going to get swept by a team that's actually competent or anything.
But seriously, the Bears are struggling, with a 4.47 ERA and a record that's only slightly better than the Kiwoom Heroes' abysmal 16-44-1. However, they do have some hope with the return of ace pitcher Kwak Bin, who's expected to fill the void left by Cole Irvin's departure.
The Kia Tigers, on the other hand, are looking to take advantage of the Bears' woes. They're currently favored to win, with odds of 2.06 at BetRivers and 2.05 at Bovada. And with the Bears' starting rotation in shambles, it's hard to see them putting up much of a fight.
So, my best bet for this matchup is the Kia Tigers to win outright. The Bears are in disarray, and the Tigers are poised to take advantage of their struggles. Plus, with the return of Kwak Bin, the Bears' bullpen might be able to keep things close, but I don't see them being able to overcome their overall lack of talent.
Best bet: Kia Tigers to win at 2.06 (BetRivers) or 2.05 (Bovada).
And hey, if you're feeling fancy, you could also take the under on the total runs scored. The Bears' pitching is a mess, but the Tigers' offense isn't exactly lighting it up either. The under is priced at 1.85 at both BetRivers and Bovada, and it's not a bad bet considering the Bears' struggles to score runs.
But let's be real, the main event here is the Kia Tigers taking advantage of the Doosan Bears' misery. So, go ahead and take the Tigers to win, and let's see if they can't make the most of this opportunity.
