Justification

1. Strong Starting Pitching Matchup – Both Cuevas and Irvin are experienced pitchers with MLB-level talent.
2. Doosan’s Defensive Strength – A well-balanced infield and outfield help limit scoring.
3. KT’s Dependence on Home Runs – If KT’s sluggers fail to hit home runs, their offense struggles.
4. Doosan’s Slow Start in Offense – Early-season offensive production tends to be lower.
5. Hampyeong’s Ballpark Factor – The field’s dimensions slightly favor pitchers.
