The LG Twins have swept 11 wins in the first 12 games, including the opening seven consecutive wins, and are concentrated by 1.5 games from fifth to sixth place in the solo. If they fall into a losing streak, they could fall to the bottom, and the middle and lower ranks are expected to fluctuate depending on the results of three consecutive games this week.먹튀검증
The fifth-ranked Lotte Giants (8 wins, 1 draw, 10 losses) will face the 10th-ranked Kiwoom Heroes (7 wins, 12 losses) at Sajik Stadium in Busan from the 15th to the 17th.
Lotte is five steps above Kiwoom, but only a few days ago, the positions of the two teams were reversed. The power gap between the two teams is not that big.
After suffering a series of loosing series against the Doosan Bears and the KIA Tigers, Lotte ended the NC Dinos and Nakdong River derby with a winning series over the weekend, paving the way for its rebound. Through the three consecutive home games, Lotte aims to leap to the upper and middle ranks.
With young players at the forefront, Kiwoom performed well with a winning percentage of .50 (four wins and four losses) through March, but the team seems to have lost strength since April. Kiwoom posted the lowest performance among the 10 teams with three wins and eight losses in April. Kiwoom made an away trip to Busan with an urgent need to stop its downward trend.
Kiwoom will put Kenny Rosenberg, the only foreign pitcher on the team, as the spearhead. Rosenberg was sluggish with eight runs in three innings in the opening game of the KBO League, but he has pitched stably since then. In particular, against LG at Gocheok on the 9th, he made a strong impression with four hits and 13 strikeouts in eight innings.
Lotte's counterpart is Na Kyun-an, the fifth starter. Na Kyun-an, who has lost one game and an earned run average of 3.94 without a win, has strength in pitching that does not collapse easily. For Lotte, if Na Kyun-an gets off to a good start, it plans to secure wins in the remaining two games in which first starter Charlie Barnes and second starter Park Se-woong will play.
The 7th-ranked Hanwha Eagles (8-11) and the 9th-ranked KIA (7-110) will face the upper-middle-ranked teams. Hanwha will face the 2nd-ranked SSG Landers, while KIA will face the 3rd-ranked KT Wiz
After suffering from poor batting performance in the early days of the season, the Hanwha Eagles scored a winning series against the Doosan and Kiwoom in succession, and successfully rebounded. The team had the hottest batting average of 0.341 among the 10 teams. Esteban Floral, Noh Si-hwan, Chae Eun-seong, Kim Tae-yeon, and Moon Hyun-bin are hitting hard.
With Kim Do-young and Kim Sun-bin exited, Kia is struggling despite a difficult situation. Patrick Wisdom, the lone home run leader (seven), has long balls. On top of this, James Nail, who ranks first in ERA (0.36) in the league, plans to take a pleasant first step toward the Winning Series as he plays in the first of three consecutive games against KT.
The sixth-ranked NC Dinos (7 wins and 9 losses) and the seventh-ranked Doosan (8 wins and 11 losses) have their matches canceled due to safety concerns at Changwon NC Park. The two teams gained time to recharge, but their rankings change depending on the outcome of other teams' matches.
