The Korea Baseball Organization is one of the first major international sports leagues to return to action amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, and it is gaining a North American following. It already had an extensive fan base, but it appears to be growing while North American sports leagues remain sidelined during the pandemic.

The KBO opened its season on Tuesday, and wrapped up its first three-game series of the season Thursday morning. The games are at tough hours for those of us in the United States, but it is still proving fun to track. Most games will be at 5:30 a.m. ET, with some days played at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m.

The league consists of ten teams, with all five teams playing at the same time. We’ll be tracking the entire 144-game season, even when North American sports return to action. We’ll provide the daily schedule and previous day’s results in this article, and below we’ve got some helpful information for gamblers. We run through traditional records, run differential, and Pythagorean Win Projections. It will hopefully help you figure out how you want to approach wagering on the KBO.
