An all-in strategy for five consecutive away games. Two days' rest, team-specific selection. Should I raise the trophy at the weekend?

LG, which suffered a crushing defeat of 4-14 against the Samsung Lions in Jamsil on the 20th, will meet the NC Dinos in Changwon on the 24th and move on to Ulsan on the 25th to face the Lotte Giants. And starting on the 26th, they will play three consecutive away games against the second-place Hanwha Eagles.
LG, which is in first place, is ahead of Hanwha in second place by three leases, but I can't be relieved because the magic number is still five and there are three matches against each other. In addition, this week, everyone has a one-day move after the away game, so the physical burden is inevitably high.
Manager Yeom Kyung-yeop boldly gave two days of rest for three days after the match against Samsung. No training schedule was set at all on the 21st and 22nd. And on the 23rd, when going down to Changwon, players were allowed to train autonomously.
They let the players control their own conditions. Coach Yeom said, `You can hit some unstable players and rest for decent players. It's up to you. It's self-determination."
LG had never rested for more than two days even in September, when the rest of the game schedule was played, but this time, they were given three days of rest for the first time, and coach Yeom's mind was to supplement his physical strength by resting enough even at this time.

Manager Yeom has already confirmed the starting pitcher for the five consecutive away games.
Song Seung-ki, who was the strongest with two wins, no losses and an ERA of 1.59 in three games against NC, will take the mound, while Son Joo-young, who was very good with two wins, no losses and an ERA of 1.44 in four games against Lotte, will take the mound.
And Anders Tolhurst, Yoni Chirinos and Lim Chan-kyu will play in turn in the three consecutive games against the doomed Hanwha. Tolhurst will take the mound for the first time against Hanwha, Chirinos has a 1.38 ERA with one win and no loss in two games, and Lim Chan-kyu has a 0.62 ERA in four games.
A strategy that seeks victory with customized selection for the five most important games.
If hitters who have had enough rest hit well and customized starters pitch well, they can erase the magic number and lift the expected championship trophy.
