If it collapses more here, there is no autumn baseball.

KIA Tigers will face a week of destiny. It's six regular-season games, but for KIA, it's virtually no different from the Korean Series. If these six games fail to produce results, the tower built last year could collapse.

KIA will play three consecutive games against SSG Landers at SSG Landers Field in Incheon from the 26th. After that, he will move to Suwon and play three consecutive weekend games against KT Wiz in the Seoul metropolitan area.




KIA is having a hard time. Last weekend, he suffered a three-game sweep by the leading LG Twins at home. During the week, the team fell behind the lowest-ranked Kiwoom Heroes with one win and two losses. The previous weekend's three consecutive Doosan Bears games were also swept, so if they didn't beat Kiwoom on the 19th, they would have lost nine consecutive games.

It has lost five consecutive games and dropped to eighth place with two wins and eight losses in the last 10 games. It became -4 wins based on 54 wins, 4 draws, 58 losses and 50 percent. The gap between KT Wiz and Lotte Giants, who are tied for fourth in the fall baseball Maginot Line, widened to three games.

It is no exaggeration to say that the recent KBO League trend is 'Roller Coaster'. Teams are going up and down at once. KIA also ranked second at the end of the first half, and then fell to eighth place. The Lotte Giants are also struggling after losing 12 consecutive games, saying that third place is unconditional.




Of course, all the remaining games will be important, but it is no exaggeration to say that this week's six consecutive games are an important schedule for KIA's farming results this season. This is because the game against top contenders, which directly affects entering the round of 5 immediately, continues. SSG is third, 3.5 games ahead of KIA, and KT is tied for fourth in the third game. If you win a winning series with two consecutive teams at 2 wins and 1 loss, you will have the strength to rebound to enter the semifinal battle again by reducing the number of rides.

If this is interpreted in reverse, it also means that if both series give the opponent the advantage, the victory will be four to five games. It is said that it usually takes a month to reduce three games, but now KIA will begin to play the rest of the game in September after completing these six games. There are only 22 games left. If the gap widens here, the possibility of a reversal will inevitably become that slim. It is said that Kia, a strong team that won the integrated championship with overwhelming power last year and was evaluated as the 'absolute first place' before this season, could receive a shocking report card of elimination from autumn baseball.

Will KIA be able to revive through this six-game series in the Seoul metropolitan area. Recovery of the losing team's scoring batting average and the broken bullpen is a priority. First of all, the first game on the 26th is as important as the first game of the Korean Series. Yang Hyun-jong's "Huh? Til?"There's a lot going on.
