The Hanwha Eagles will play three consecutive games against the LG Twins at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 8th. For Hanwha, it is an opportunity to bring back the trend of the second half of the ranking fight.
Hanwha finished the first half in the lead. The start of the second half was not bad. At the end of July, he widened his gap with the second-place LG Twins to 5.5 games.
It was hoped that Hanwha's solo system would take place, but LG's counterattack, which was ranked first at the beginning of the season, was also not easy.
Hanwha had eight wins, one draw and seven losses in 16 games in the second half. In the meantime, LG recorded 15 wins and 3 losses, eventually erasing the 5.5 game gap and reversing the ranking.
In the three consecutive games during the week, Hanwha took 'Loosing Series' against KT Wiz and LG took 'Winning Series' against Doosan Bears. After the game ended on the 7th, LG ranked first with 63 wins, 2 draws and 41 losses, while Hanwha ranked second with 60 wins, 3 draws and 40 losses. The difference between the two teams is one game.
For Hanwha, which gave up the lead, the three consecutive matches to be held in Jamsil from the 8th have become more important than ever.
The problem is that I'm worried about the selection. Moon Dong-ju, Cody Ponce and Ryan Weiss played against KT during the week. In other words, all three pitchers in the best condition have been put in.

As usual, it's Hwang Jun-seo's turn to come forward. Hanwha gave Hwang Jun-seo a chance to start in the second half as Um Sang-baek was shaken in the first half. Hwang Jun-seo showed good performance as an alternative starting pitcher in the first half of the year and even succeeded in joining the starting rotation. However, he showed signs of anxiety in two games in the second half, shaking with a 17.18 ERA in three ⅔ innings. He seemed to be getting another chance, but he was eventually excluded from the first-team entry on the 7th.
It would have been ideal, saying that rain was canceled in three consecutive games during the week. There was a rain forecast, but eventually all the games were played.
Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon said, `I'm also thinking of a surprise card for an empty starting position against LG" he said. He has yet to comment on specific players.

LG is all set. `There is no rotation match against Hanwha,' he said, but Lim Chan-kyu, Yonny Chirinos and Son Joo-young will start. It is currently the best starting card that LG can make.
He said 'in order', but there was also a grave of management. With the release of Eliaser Hernandez, there was an empty space in the starting lineup, and Choi Chae-heung was placed on the 6th. If Choi Jae-heung entered Hernandez's position, he had to come out on the 8th. However, he also took into account the aspect of giving Song Seung-ki and Lim Chan-kyu additional rest and repaired the starting rotation.
First, Ryu Hyun-jin and Lim Chan-kyu will cut off the first tape. Ryu Hyun-jin had six wins, six losses and an ERA of 3.55 in 18 games this season, while he had one win, no loss and an ERA of 1.38 in two games against LG.
Lim Chan-kyu had 9 wins and 3 losses with a 2.91 ERA in 20 games, and he was particularly strong against Hanwha with two wins and no losses with a 0.41 ERA in three games.
