Just 10 days ago, it seemed that the regular league championship this season was almost here.
LG Twins was at the top of the KBO League ranking table on the 19th. It was 18 wins and 4 losses and a winning percentage of 81.8 percent.
The second place was Hanwha Eagles, who won six consecutive games. With 13 wins and 11 losses, the winning rate is 542. The first and second places are six games apart.
The gap between the Hanwha Eagles and the 10th-ranked Kiwoom Heroes (8 wins and 16 losses) is five games. In other words, the difference between the first and second places is six games, but the scorecard for the second and 10th places is five games. As such, LG's dominance was enormous. The phrase 'absolute first round' was never a word for LG to be heard, but it was an expression that LG could actually hear.
However, on April 29, ten days later, the ranking table changed.
The first place is the LG Twins. It's the same. However, he lost to Hanwha by 2 to 3 and 1 point on the day, making it 20-10. The number of wins has not increased much, but the number of losses has increased. He was 2-6 for 10 days.
Second place is Samsung Lions. Samsung, which ranked fourth with 12 wins and 11 losses on the 19th, went up to second place with 18 wins and 12 losses with 6 wins and 1 loss for 10 days. The drawing between LG and Samsung, which was 6.5 games apart, has narrowed down to just two games in the meantime.
Hanwha came in third with 18 wins and 13 losses, with five wins and two losses. The six-game gap was reduced to 2.5 games. Lotte, which tied for fourth with Samsung with 12 wins, 1 draw and 11 losses 10 days ago, is fourth with 17 wins, 1 draw and 13 losses. Now, if there are three consecutive wins and losses between the four teams, the ranking will change at any time.
LG overwhelmed in every aspect, including a bullpen with five strong starters and a sense of stability, a good defense to prevent runs, and a powerful hit. However, foreign pitcher Eliaser Hernandez, who had no hit in six innings against Samsung in Jamsil on the 15th, began to be twisted when he left due to a thigh injury. All the substitute starters lost the game, and that day became bullpen day. Unfortunately, those good hitters also began to lose their sense of hitting at that time.

LG's performance until the 19th, when it had 18 wins and 4 losses, and LG's performance over the next 10 days were quite different. Until the 19th, LG ranked second overall with a 2.66 ERA (1st place was KT 2.57), and ranked first with a team batting average of 287. He also scored 143 points and topped the game with 6.5 points per game.
LG, which has been 2-6 since the 20th, ranked eighth overall with an ERA of 4.43, and ranked eighth with a team batting average of 199. He scored only 3.3 points on average with 26 points. The probability of winning is bound to decrease that much as the average of two more points and the score is reduced by three points, and less points are drawn.
A crisis that can be confirmed to have been on the decline. LG will play nine consecutive games, including Hanwha, SSG Landers, and Doosan Bears. SSG ranked 7th with 13 wins and 15 losses and Doosan ranked 8th with 12 wins and 17 losses, and they should keep the first place by taking the winning series against them.
Lotte is the most threatening in the current schedule of nine consecutive games. Meet Kiwoom in last place after NC in ninth place and fight SSG in the Children's Day series. If you build as many wins as possible to meet only the lower-ranked teams, you can rise enough.
How will the ranking table change after the nine consecutive games. Will LG in crisis be able to keep its No. 1 ranking. Or will a new No. 1 be born.
