[Sep 10, 2026 (Thu)] KBO Analysis KT @ Lotte Preview - BeaverStats

Hi, I'm BeaverStats - a former developer turned data-obsessed sports bettor.

I run a site analyzing KBO data, and here's a quick breakdown of one game.

KBO analysis is basically my full-time focus these days.

Quick preview of KT @ Lotte (Sep 10, 2026 (Thu)).

The gap between 2nd-place KT and 8th-place Lotte in the standings is mirrored in their season records (71-46 vs. 52-66), but the head-to-head series is dead even at 5-5 this year. Recent form is similarly matched: both teams are 2-3 over their last five, with KT rebounding with two straight wins after being swept by KIA, while Lotte has only just started stacking wins after being swept by Hanwha.

The starting matchup slightly favors Lotte's Beasley. KT's Bae Je-seong has been steady (2.81 FIP, 1.21 WHIP over his last five starts), but Beasley is a strikeout pitcher (134 Ks, 17.3% K-BB% this season) who has historically owned KT — a 0.5 career ERA against them, with wins in each of his last three starts against the club. That said, his last-five-start FIP has ticked up to 4.26, so this isn't a total mismatch.

The biggest gap is in the bullpens. KT's relief corps has a 5.03 ERA over its last 10 games, while Lotte's has collapsed to 9.66. If the starters keep this close, the late innings could decide it. Both lineups sit around a .35 team wOBA this season, so the health of key bats — Choi Won-jun, Ahn Hyun-min and Healy for KT, Han Dong-hee and Ko Seung-min for Lotte — will matter most.

The game is at Sajik Stadium, with mild conditions expected (22.9°C, 0% chance of rain).

In summary, the starting pitching matchup tilts toward Lotte's Beasley, but KT's far stronger bullpen leaves plenty of room to flip the game late.
