The competition between the LG Twins and the No. 2 Hanwha Eagles for the first place is not over yet. The two have 11 games left side by side, but LG is ahead by three games. It is clear that LG has an advantage.
However, since the last three consecutive matches to be held in Daejeon from the 26th to the 28th are left, it is likely to be the last ranking match if the two teams enter the three consecutive games within three games.
LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop strongly announced the selection of the three consecutive games against Hanwha. Coach Yeom was talking about the starting rotation before the away game against KT Wiz at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 16th and said in advance that he would select three consecutive games against Hanwha next week.
Coach Yeom said, `The first to third starters will come out,' adding, `Since the rotation was made this month, we have consisted of Tolhurst, Chirinos, and Lim Chan-kyu in the last three consecutive games against Hanwha.' "I let the best pitchers go out because I don't know what's going to happen." For LG, the best scenario is to confirm the championship before the three consecutive games against Hanwha. That way, the burden on players and the risk of injury can be reduced while playing the Hanwha match comfortably. If the championship is confirmed, there is no need to start Tolhurst, who did not throw in the match against Hanwha. If they meet in the Korean Series, Hanwha batters' experience of Tolhurst in advance could be a negative factor for Tolhurst.

Chirinos and Son Joo-young also pitched well against Hanwha. Chirinos has a good 1.38 ERA with one win and no loss in two games. He allowed only two runs in 13 innings.
Son Joo-young is also good with a 1.38 ERA with one win and no loss in two games, but he allowed three runs (two earned runs) in 13 innings.
Only Song Seung-ki posted a slightly lower performance with two losses and a 3.86 ERA in three games.
Tolhurst came to South Korea and pitched in six games with a 5-1 record and a 1.54 ERA. Except for allowing five runs in four innings against Kiwoom in Gocheok on the 9th, the ERA in the five games won was only 0.29 (two runs in 31 innings (1 earned run).
This means that LG will put the three best starters that LG can put forward to the match against Hanwha to secure the championship. Of course, if you win the championship before, your rotation will be different.
