Is it Hanwha Eagles' solidification or LG Twins' pursuit again. Who is more advantageous in the lead race ahead of the regular season turning point.
Hanwha succeeded in retaking the top spot with a 10-5 victory over the LG Twins in the first and second place match at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 15th. Hanwha, which rose to No. 1 at the time of its consecutive wins in early May, has been up and down since then, but has recently maintained its second place. It succeeded in retaking the top spot for the first time in 32 days since May 13, pushing LG to second place. The two teams had mixed feelings as Hanwha scored one win and one draw in their showdown over the weekend.
Now we see a regular season turning point. As of the 16th, Hanwha and LG played 69 games side by side. The 77 games, or half of 144 games, are just around the corner. In particular, it is expected that the next month's task will be to maintain the performance before the week-long 'All-Star Break' that begins on July 11.

Hanwha has regained the top spot, but it is still a close race with LG in second place by 0.5 games. There is a slight gap with the third-place Lotte Giants by 3.5 games. From the third-place Lotte to the seventh-place KIA Tigers, they are in a tight race for rankings within three games.
This week is important for the two teams competing for the lead. Hanwha will play three consecutive games during the week against Lotte in the away game in Busan, and will move back to Daejeon home to face Kiwoom on the weekend.

The three consecutive Sajik games between Hanwha and Lotte are expected to be the best 'big match' of the series this week. Ryan Weiss will take the mound on the first day of the three consecutive games for Hanwha, and Tucker Davidson will face Lotte. With both teams having ups and downs in hitting the team, domestic starting pitchers will take the mound in the remaining two games except for the first day of the three consecutive games, so offense and bullpen fighting are expected to determine the direction of the series.
Lotte also can't back down. For Lotte, which has been holding on to 3 wins and 2 losses in the last 5 games despite the large number of injuries, it is necessary to gain the upper hand in the face-off against Hanwha to raise hopes of entering the lead. In the previous showdown between the two teams this season, Lotte is slightly ahead with 4 wins and 3 losses. A close race is expected.

LG will play three consecutive games against the NC Dinos at home in Jamsil during the week, and six consecutive home games against the Doosan Bears will be held on the weekend. Although it is less burdensome to move and leads the game against NC with 5 wins and 3 losses, we cannot relax as much as the strongest pitcher in NC, Riley Thompson, takes the mound on the first day of the series.

In addition, Doosan, which will face Doosan on the weekend, was tight with 3 wins and 3 losses this season. In the ranking, NC is eighth and Doosan is ninth, which is far apart from LG, but we should be wary of the fact that they are formidable opponents. In particular, it is necessary to recover the internal injury of 1 draw and 1 loss without victory in the showdown with Hanwha, which received a lot of attention for the 「Preview Korean Series」 as soon as possible.
As Hanwha rose again, the leading war became more interesting. Depending on the results of this week's six games, the trend before the All-Star break could be divided. Which team beats a tight opponent and has the upper hand.
