LG, which is ranked first in the three-game series, is trying to hit a congratulatory shot in Daejeon's enemy territory, while Hanwha dreams of winning the upset.
I have a question. Hanwha's starting rotation for this week.
LG's manager Yeom Kyung-yeop has already announced all of them. From the 24th, LG will start the match against Hanwha in Daejeon, following Changwon NC and Ulsan Lotte. All five starters, including Song Seung-ki, Son Joo-young, Tolhurst, Chirinos, and Lim Chan-kyu, were unveiled. It was made up of strong pitchers on the opposing team.
But Hanwha's pitchers don't know yet. Hanwha will play Incheon SSG on the 24th and Jamsil Doosan on the 25th, and come down to Daejeon to play three consecutive games against LG. However, he still does not know the order of selection for the five consecutive games. The only pitcher that can be inferred is Cody Ponce. Since he took the mound against Suwon KT Wiz on the 20th, if he takes the mound after a five-day break, he can take the mound in the first game against LG on the 26th. We can expect to face LG Tolhurst as the first starter.
However, starting on the 27th and 28th against SSG and Doosan is not easy. This is because anyone, including Ryan Weiss and Ryu Hyun-jin and Moon Dong-joo, can take the mound. And we don't know who the other one will be.
However, on the 22nd, the Incheon Doosan-SSG match was outlined to some extent.
Doosan and SSG, who just met on the same day, were the team that met Hanwha, and there was a starting pitcher for Hanwha that they expected.

Weiss against SSG is somewhat predictable. Because Hanwha will play against Lotte Giants in Daejeon on the 30th, and the pitcher who took the mound against SSG must play against Lotte after a five-day break. And among Hanwha pitchers, Weiss is the strongest against Lotte. He has a 1.32 ERA with five wins and no losses in five games.
And he seems to be determined to put veteran Ryu Hyun-jin in the game against Doosan to win and play a certain one-wood bridge game against LG. Ponce is the best pitcher in the KBO League this season in name and reality, so of course, he has to go to the first game against LG and gain the upper hand, and Moon Dong-ju also pitched in three games against LG this season and was not bad with a 3.68 ERA with one win and no loss. I'm curious about the selection of the game on the 28th, but there is a possibility that Yoon San-heum, who started against KIA in Gwangju on the 18th and played three scoreless innings, will be put forward and filled with bullpen days such as Jung Woo-joo.
However, the Korea Meteorological Administration's forecast is that it will rain on the afternoon of the 24th, so it is questionable whether the Incheon game will be able to be held. Manager Lee Sung-yong, who is burdened by the match against the second-place Hanwha Eagles, said, `It may be canceled because rain is forecast all day on the 24th.' `If it is canceled and pushed to the back, it would be better to meet after the ranking is decided.' If the game is canceled due to rain on the 24th, there is a possibility that Hanwha's rotation will change. Weiss is put into the game against LG, which can lead to an all-out war.
Which team will win the championship. Expectations and excitement are already rising for the 1st and 2nd place single-wood bridge blood fight in Daejeon.
