KT Wiz vs. SSG Landers: Kang Baek-ho’s Personal SSG Smackdown
September 26, 2025 | Jamsil Baseball Stadium | 9:30 AM KST
The Setup:
KT’s Kang Baek-ho has made a career hobby of humiliating SSG pitchers. Last time these teams met, he launched a solo shot off Song Young-jin’s curveball for his 14th career home run against SSG—a KBO record for futility toward one team. Now, he’s chasing history and a playoff push, as KT sits 3 games behind Lotte for the final postseason berth. SSG, meanwhile, are fighting for third place, but let’s be real: This is Kang’s personal target practice.
The Odds (Implied Probabilities):
- Moneyline: SSG Landers (-150 to -183) = 58–62% implied win chance; KT Wiz (+145 to +195) = 38–52%.
- Spreads: SSG -1.5 (odds: 2.75–2.86) = 65–69% implied; KT +1.5 (1.4–2.6) = 40–65%.
- Totals: 8 runs (Over: 1.87–2.15; Under: 1.8–1.95). The Over is slightly more likely (52–56% implied), but don’t be surprised if Kang’s power skews this.
Player Props to Watch:
- Kang Baek-ho Over/Under 1.5 Home Runs: While not explicitly listed, the context screams for this prop. After his 15th HR of the season last game, bettors should consider whether “14 career HRs vs. SSG” qualifies as a psychological edge or a mathematical inevitability.
- 3+ RBI Game: Given his three-run double and solo shot in the last meeting, this feels like a layup.
Prediction:
Kang Baek-ho will treat this game like a Hyundai dealership: with ruthless efficiency. The Wiz’s offense, already riding a 3-game win streak, will exploit SSG’s shaky pitching history against Kang. Look for KT to win 9-6 and send SSG into a spiral of existential dread.
Betting Angle:
- Take KT +1.5 (-140 to -260 odds): The spread reflects SSG’s paper strength but ignores Kang’s 1.15 OPS vs. SSG pitchers.
- Over 8.5 Runs: If Kang goes deep again (and he will), this game explodes.
Final Jeer:
SSG’s pitchers should bring a helmet and a therapist. Kang’s not here to negotiate. He’s here to hit 15th HR vs. SSG. And maybe a three-run double. Just to be thorough.
Play it safe, or play it smart. Either way, Kang’s hitting a home run. 🏏💥
