It's crazy that Doosan ranked 9th after LG is 2nd, what if it goes to fall baseball?

Doosan Bears' move, led by acting coach Cho Sung-hwan, is unusual. Most of the lowest-ranked Kiwoom Heroes and Doosan were considered to be excluded from the autumn baseball competition early on, but it may have been too early to evaluate.
Doosan, currently ranked ninth in the standings, had a hot weekend. He swept all three consecutive home games against the KIA Tigers. The contents of the game were also great. He did not lose his persistent appearance against KIA, which has a busy way to go. In the first game, Ahn Jae-seok's dramatic walk-off home run in the 11th inning was tied at the bottom of the ninth inning. In the second game, Yoon Tae-ho's surprise four scoreless innings and Kim In-tae's walk-off hit in the ninth inning. The last was pushed by the opponent 'Ace'James Nail, but Cho, who did not lose his concentration in the second half of the game, turned the result upside down with a come-from-behind hit by Cho Soo-haeng, who came out as a pinch runner. The nail was thrown so well that it was buried, and it was also a huge boost that the surprise starter Je Hwan-yu allowed one run in five innings.

And the end of the miracle is fall baseball. In fact, it was unthinkable until the first half. Doosan, which had already slumped from the beginning, was in ninth place, and the gap with KT Wiz in fifth place at the time was 8.5 games. Since the appointment of acting manager Cho Sung-hwan, the number of rides has been reduced little by little, but the first thing that happened was so big that autumn baseball was honestly difficult.
However, Doosan is becoming more and more powerful as it self-evolves. After the All-Star break, Doosan's performance in the second half is as good as the 10 clubs. He recorded a good performance of 13 wins, 2 draws and 10 losses with a winning rate of 0.565, after the current No. 1 LG Twins (20 wins, 5 losses, 0.800). This is ahead of the second-place Hanwha Eagles (13 wins, 1 draw, 11 losses, 0.542).

SSG Landers, KIA, KT Wiz, NC Dinos, and Samsung Lions all have unstable power. There's no team going out of the way. KIA was immediately swept by Doosan, and KT was almost swept by Kiwoom in last place and survived by a close call. On top of that, even the Lotte Giants, who seemed to be in third place, lost eight consecutive games, and it seems to have been reduced to a competition for fifth place, not a battle for the lead.
The gap between Doosan and fifth-ranked KIA, KT, and NC is now five games. If it's big, it's big, but it's not a figure to give up. If you have the upper hand in the competition team's showdown like against KIA, you can quickly reduce the number of rides. If we don't get too greedy and move forward with the goal of playing a winning series every three consecutive games, we can't rule out the possibility that Doosan will hit a 'super accident' at the end of the season.
