Erase the weak team's memory.

Hanwha Eagles and Lotte Giants will play three consecutive games at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 22nd. The confrontation took place in the best upward atmosphere.

This season, many experts selected last year's integrated winners, the KIA Tigers, the LG Twins, and the Samsung Lions, as strong candidates. While LG is on an all-time winning streak, KIA and Samsung are slowing down due to injuries.




While they slowed down, Lotte, which was an eliminated team in baseball last fall, raised its ranking as Hanwha quickly accumulated wins.

Lotte has eight wins and two losses in its last 10 games.

The pitching and batting turned relatively stable. The bullpen played well in the pitching staff. While the team's ERA in 10 games ranked fourth with 3.98, the starting lineup's ERA remained at 4.81. However, the bullpen earned run average was 2.89, ranking second.




The batting was also good. In 10 games, he ranked second with a team batting average of 321. Jeon Min-jae played all-around in both attack and defense. Lotte is in fourth place with a steady build-up of wins.

Hanwha is the team that ranked Lotte's bullpen ERA and team batting average in second place. In 10 games, Hanwha showed the strongest performance in the league. The team's ERA topped the list with 2.09, the starting ERA was second with 2.33, and the relief pitcher's ERA was first with 1.61.

He also has excellent batting power. He ranks first with a team batting average of .330. He is also the only player with a double-digit number of 10 homers in his team.




As pitching and batting have shown good performance at the same time, they have recorded 9 wins and 1 loss in the last 10 games, and are on a seven-game winning streak.

For Hanwha, it has been on the rise recently. All of them were below the ranking table except for the face-off with SSG during the seven-game winning streak. SSG also ranked second ahead of the three consecutive Hanwha games, but it was in a precarious situation due to continued injuries. After winning against Kiwoom on the 13th, Hanwha swept all three consecutive games against SSG and swept all three consecutive games against NC, quickly rising to second place.

While facing each other on the highest rise, foreign pitchers will start the first showdown. Lotte is Charlie Barnes. Ryan Weiss will take the mound for Hanwha. Until now, Barnes seems to have a little more advantage in their performance against each other. Barnes' overall performance against Hanwha is 7-2 with a 2.41 ERA in 11 games. In particular, he has continued to be strong in the match against Hanwha. On the other hand, Weiss appeared to have struggled somewhat with a 1-1 record and a 7.20 ERA in a total of three appearances.

Following Barnes, Park Se-woong and Tucker Davidson are expected to take the mound one after the other, while Hanwha is scheduled to have Ryu Hyun-jin and Um Sang-baek in the rotation.

The results of the two teams' face-to-face matches this season were posted twice in early April, and Lotte won both times. Last year, Lotte also had a relative advantage with 9 wins and 7 losses.

However, there are variables. There is a rain forecast across the country on the afternoon of the 22nd. According to the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) forecast, it will also rain in Busan from morning to late evening.

If the game does not start due to rain, there may be a change in the selection operation. At the same time, an additional day off will also affect the sense of hitting.

The schedule achieved the best match. Only heaven's decision is left.
