[Professional Baseball Observatory] 'If pushed, it's over'... 3rd place ‘four-way composition’ in earnest
NC·kt·Doosan·KIA, fierce battle in the car in 2 games... Leading LG, 60 wins first come first served
As the professional baseball regular league race came to an end, the competition for third place with a direct ticket to the semi-playoffs (3 wins in 5 matches) heated up. 바카라사이트
As of the 6th, 3rd place NC Dinos and 4th place kt wiz, who had won 4 consecutive wins, got tangled up without a ride.
5th place Doosan Bears is chasing the two teams by one game, and 6th place KIA Tigers is also chasing Doosan by one game.
Four teams from 3rd to 6th place are in a close battle within two games.
The competition for the top 5, which reached the final 7th in the first half, seems to have been compressed into a four-way structure with the start of the second half on the 21st of last month.
Kiwoom Heroes, who virtually gave up this season, fell to the point of competing with Samsung Lions for last place, and Lotte Giants rode downhill to 7th place.
The 8th place Hanwha Eagles also did not rise as much as expected.
The ride between KIA and Lotte was 3.5 games, and the ride between KIA and Hanwha was 6 games, wider than the gap between the 3rd place competitors.
The four teams competing for third place, who share a sense of crisis that “if they are pushed back now, are over,” are expected to focus on “maintaining the status quo” this week and then aim for a winning streak.
NC Dinos, who play visit games one after another with SSG Landers and kt, who are second among the four teams, walk the most difficult path.
In particular, it is predicted that he will pour all his energy into the weekend 3 consecutive matches with kt, who lost 3 games in Changwon hometown 2 weeks ago.
The key is whether NC's fierce bat can crack the shield of kt, which plays strong starting baseball.
Doosan, which has surpassed the lead and is now in a position where it is not safe to finish in 5th place, also has a tough schedule ahead of Samsung and SSG.
It is of interest to see what the result of the season's fourth confrontation between close Doosan coach Lee Seung-yeop and Samsung coach Park Jin-man will be.
Doosan wiped out three consecutive matches against Samsung held in Pohang in early July, leading the season with 5 wins and 3 losses.
Samsung got 8 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses in the second half and started to finish last.
Starting pitcher Albert Suarez was diagnosed with muscle damage in his left calf in a game against the LG Twins on the 6th and will be out for 4 weeks, so he will be pushed back by Doosan in the starting fight.
However, as the pitching compatibility is gradually improving, attention is drawn to whether he will be able to take revenge in the 3-game series against Doosan in Jamsil.
Doosan was pushed to SSG with 2 wins and 6 losses and needed a turnaround.
KIA clashes with leaders LG and Lotte in turn.
KIA, which has a close lead over the two teams in this season's record, expects more than half a threshing this week.
If LG adds 3 wins, it will be the first to win 60 wins in the season, and it will advance to the Korean Series for the first time in 21 years.
Excluding 1985-1988, which was divided into two leagues, and 1999-2000, which were held in both leagues, the probability of winning the regular league for a team with 60 wins until last year was 75.8% (25 out of 33), and the probability of winning the Korean Series was 60.6. % (20 out of 33).
LG is glad that Adam Plutko, who skipped the mound last week after being confirmed with a novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19), will return to the mound on the 8th.
