The 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League regular season, which will end on the 3rd of next month. There is a growing possibility that LG Hanwha SSG Samsung KT will end in the order of the five strongest teams.
If additional variables such as rain cancellation games do not occur, the regular season will end on the 3rd and the wild card series will begin on the 5th.
LG Twins crossed the ninth ridge to win the regular season. First of all, if they draw or win an away game against the Hanwha Eagles on the 29th, they will confirm the top spot in the regular season.
Even if No. 2 Hanwha wins its last showdown, LG will confirm the championship even if it wins or draws once in the remaining two games. Even if Hanwha loses or draws just once in the remaining three games, the probability is even greater because LG's championship will be confirmed.
LG has two consecutive home games left against Doosan on the 30th and NC on October 1. Hanwha will end the regular season with the match against Lotte in Daejeon on the 30th, the match against Incheon SSG on October 1 and the match against Suwon KT on the 3rd, and prepare for autumn baseball.

Third-place SSG, 1.5 games ahead of fourth-place Samsung, is in an advantageous position as it has five games left, the most among the 10 teams. If Samsung wins two of the five games, it can win a ticket to the semi-playoff on its own even if Samsung wins both of the remaining two games.
SSG has games to play against Lotte, Kiwoom, Hanwha, KIA, and NC. Most of them are opposing teams that have been ranked or are likely to meet after being decided.
Samsung, which is ranked fourth with two games to go, is 1.5 games behind KT, which is ranked fifth. Once he wins both of the remaining two games against KIA, he will be ranked fourth. However, if you lose even one game, there is a last variable. If fifth-place KT wins all the remaining three games, it will lose fourth place by a narrow margin of victory.
If Samsung loses to KIA, KT can play the wild card match at home in fourth place with only two wins.
The fifth-place KT needs to pay more attention than retaking the fourth place, and the urgent thing to do is to protect the fifth-place team. No. 6 NC, which has trailed by 1.5 games with five consecutive wins, is strong. It will immediately play NC in Changwon, the last game of the season, on the 30th. It's going to be a life-or-death game.
If KT beats NC, it will actually keep fifth place. On the other hand, if NC wins, it will chase within one game, and the rankings will fluctuate depending on the results of the remaining two games between the two teams at the last minute. If NC wins the match against KIA on the 29th and KT, the win will be zero.
However, since KT meets NC on the 30th, four days after the SSG match on the 26th, it is possible to have an all-out bullpen match. On the other hand, NC's somewhat unfavorable variable is that it has to meet KT the day after the KIA match on the 29th due to rain.
KT meets KIA and Hanwha after NC, and NC meets LG and SSG after KIA KT.
