Is it becoming polarized already.
Competition for KBO league rankings is already on the rise.
In the beginning, the LG Twins created an atmosphere of 'Wire to Wire Win'. No matter who I met, it was an atmosphere that seemed unlikely to lose. The selection was good, and the generational change of fielders took place, so it felt like catching both grades and breeding rabbits.
As of April 19, LG was 18 wins and 4 losses. At that time, there were as many as six games against the second-place Hanwha Eagles. At that time, Hanwha also won six consecutive games, but the difference in six games was great.

KT held out at the top with the strength of pitching power even if the bat did not burst and the injured soldier came out. Then, the Samsung Lions and the Lotte Giants began to hit like crazy. Samsung won six consecutive games, and Lotte also joined the top-ranked battle by adding four consecutive wins to the stable winning series.
And Hanwha's six-game winning streak continued. Ahead of Children's Day, the KBO League ranking table is showing signs of polarization.
First of all, LG is holding out. But now it's in range. Hanwha, ranked second, has been chasing by one game. I forgot everything I should have earned. Even though he has won two consecutive games recently, there is no difference.

There is a 3.5 game difference between LG in 1st place and KT in 5th place. The problem is that the gap is widening below it. The sixth-ranked SSG Landers and the seventh-ranked KIA Tigers have lost two consecutive games and three in a row, respectively. The gap between SSG and KT is 2.5 games. The lowest-ranked Kiwoom Heroes is eight games behind KT, which is ranked fifth.
It is said that the ranking can be overturned at any time, but the important thing is that there are many unstable factors in the power of the teams below the middle. SSG's Choi Jung came amid Choi Jung and White's injuries before the opening, but Herredia's gap seems to be large.

KIA is the most surprising. Although it was evaluated as 'absolutely the first round', the team feels very cluttered starting with Kim Do-young's injury. It is shocking that he lost consecutive games after releasing his ace nails against Hanwha on the 4th. Many experts say that `KIA will go up at any time,' but with the recent performance and atmosphere, there is no guarantee of this.
Doosan Bears are also not overwhelmed by the three highly anticipated foreigners. Both the fielder and pitcher's power are unstable. The NC Dinos can't even go home, and it's hard just to go around on an away trip.

The top five teams have relatively stable power. LG, Samsung, and KT, which were considered favorites, do not need to be explained separately. Hanwha is unlikely to shake easily because its starting and bullpen are very stable. Attention is focusing on how ridiculous Lotte can be now on the rise.
