Two teams that started the season well/ very well, in the case of KT Wiz. Both teams were average in the previous season, with KIA dropping in the playoffs and Wiz just making it, but going home quickly. This season, Wiz looks like a completely different team, winning 13 out of 19 games and ranking 2nd in the league + they have a better offense in the league! KIA has bounced back strongly after a slow start to the current season (1 win out of 7 games), winning 9 out of their last 12 games, partly due to improvements in their offense. As mentioned, Wiz has a better offense in the league, averaging 6.1 runs per game in 19 games, while KIA averages 5.1 runs per game (5th in the league in terms of offense).
Between the two teams, I predict an over game, with a high total, especially since both teams will have weak pitchers starting. KIA has a local pitcher with a disastrous 7.94 ERA, while Wiz has a deceptive local pitcher with a 1.94 ERA, but as previously mentioned, this is deceiving because all 3 of his opponents this season have the worst offenses in the league, and he himself has been in the league for 7 seasons, with an average ERA of 4.84, which is much worse than his current performance, and these things come back to haunt him eventually.
Two teams with strong offenses and weak pitchers should result in a high-scoring game.
