Now the fourth-place team is in a position to surpass the first place with three consecutive wins.
The battle for the first place in the 2025 season is about to enter. In the two-way match between the Hanwha Eagles and the LG Twins, the Lotte Giants followed, and now the KIA Tigers all followed.
On the 3rd, No. 1 Hanwha drew 7 to 7 with NC, and No. 3 Lotte won 2-0 against No. 2 LG, making the two teams tied for second place. And fourth-place KIA caught SSG 3-2.
After all the games, Hanwha (46 wins, 2 draws and 33 losses), LG (45 wins, 2 draws and 35 losses), and Lotte (45 wins, 3 draws and 35 losses) became 1.5 games apart from KIA (43 wins, 3 draws and 36 losses).
If Hanwha loses three consecutive games and KIA wins three consecutive games, the two teams will be tied. This means that if the four teams win consecutive games and lose consecutively, they are in a fence where the ranking can change at any time.
The remaining games in the first half are six games each. A huge last-minute spurt has begun.
For now, three consecutive weekend games have become important. Hanwha will meet Kiwoom in last place at Gocheok. He performed well with 6 wins and 1 loss against Kiwoom this season. If we win three consecutive games this time, we can finish the first half firmly in first place.
Hanwha will push Kiwoom with its best starting lineup. Four-time champion Cody Ponce will take the mound on the 4th, Ryu Hyun-jin on the 5th, and Ryan Weiss on the 6th. Kiwoom is expected to have Raul Alcantara on the 4th, Wells on the 5th, and Park Joo-sung on the 6th.
It's Kiwoom in last place, but it should never be taken lightly. Park Joo-sung, who is scheduled to start on the 6th, faced the KT opponent Heyesus on the 1st and became a surprise winning pitcher with two runs in six innings.
LG meets Samsung. LG is slightly ahead with 5 wins and 4 losses, but the batting match is expected because it will be held in Daegu. LG met Lotte in Busan and lost two consecutive games after one win. Austin's offense dropped noticeably even though the mound was good as he was out due to injury. I'm even worried about whether Samsung and Daegu will be able to hit.

The starting rotation is in the order of Song Seung-ki, Yonny Chirinos, and Elijah Hernandez. According to the original rotation, Samsung was in the order of Won Tae-in, Lee Seung-hyun, and Ariel Furado, but Won Tae-in was out due to a bad back, leaving a starting spot empty. First of all, Lee Seung-hyun will come out a day earlier on the 4th. I'm thinking about Yang Chang-seop on the 5th, but it may change depending on the situation. Furado is scheduled to take the mound on the 6th.
Samsung came down to Daegu in a good atmosphere with Lee Jae-hyun's come-from-behind bases-loaded shot in the top of the ninth inning against Doosan Bears in Jamsil on the 3rd. It is different from LG, which was unfortunately defeated by a frustrating hit against Lotte. There is a possibility that it will determine the atmosphere of the series in the first game of the domestic left-handed selection match.
Lotte and KIA fight in Gwangju. KIA is ahead of Lotte with 4 wins and 2 losses. On the 4th, KIA's James Nail and Lotte's Na Kyun-an will face off, Kim Do-hyun and Park Se-woong will meet on the 5th, and Yoon Young-chul or Kim Geon-guk and Tucker Davidson will meet on the 6th.
Although there are many injuries to both, it is difficult to say which team is more advantageous because the atmosphere is very good by raising the ranking through the performance of substitute players. Lotte fought fiercely with LG and won two consecutive games at the end with good decision and defense to tie for second place. KIA also showed solid teamwork and took the winning series to SSG. If Lotte takes the winning series with 2 wins and 1 loss, it will lead by 2.5 games, and if KIA plays the winning series with 2 wins and 1 loss, it will be reduced to 0.5 games. If Lotte wins three consecutive games, KI can be pushed out of the race for first place, and if KIA wins three consecutive games, the two positions will change.
How will the four teams' thin ice ranking fight end in the first half. All the teams are in all-out war, so there is a great game that cannot be seen with confidence until the end of the game. There is a high possibility that the game will continue on the weekend.
