Now, the situation has turned around. It's not like Hanwha doesn't have a chance?

Game 1 of the long-awaited Korean Series between the LG Twins and the Hanwha Eagles will be held at Jamsil Stadium on the 26th.

First of all, the outlook for LG is bright. That's inevitable. Winning the regular season means that he is very strong in power. Two-tie is good. The fielders in particular are the players for 'fall baseball'. In other words, players gathered to play baseball on their own even if the coach and coach did not give instructions.




I rested here for a long time. Pitchers rest the better. The fielders' sense of play is a problem, but any coach chooses to take a break. On the contrary, Hanwha came up after suffering a blood clot in Game 5 in the playoffs. I only took a day off.

But long and short are the only way to know. Hanwha also has a formidable power. Some say Hanwha, whose starting rotation is twisted, will be at a disadvantage, but Hanwha is the team with the strongest starting lineup in the league. Hanwha native pitchers have the ability to play first or second starters when they go to other teams.

LG is expected to have a starting rotation of Tolhurst, Chirinos, Lim Chan-kyu and Son Joo-young. Hanwha is in the order of Moon Dong-ju, Ryu Hyun-jin, Ponce, and TWICE. It was a completely mixed match between foreign and domestic players.




Theoretically, LG is advantageous in the first and second games. However, if the away team Hanwha wins and loses 1 game in Jamsil, the situation will change again. This is because you can take out the strongest one-two punch Ponce-WICE card at home. It's a reversal of circumstances.

The effect is already proving this fall. When Samsung won the first game with Choi Won-tae, which Samsung did not expect, in the semi-playoff between the Samsung Lions and SSG Landers, the atmosphere began to fluctuate. Samsung moved to home Daegu and upgraded the one-two punch Won Tae-in-Furado series.

The same was true of the playoffs between Samsung and Hanwha. Anyone can see that Ponce-Wice predicted Hanwha's one-sided advantage in the first and second games, but it became an unknown game when Samsung defeated the two in Daejeon and lost 1-1. If Samsung had tried hard to catch the game in Game 3, Hanwha might have been shocked because it was Won Tae-in next.




Lim Chan-kyu and Son Joo-young are also good pitchers, but it is difficult to face any team with 100% power Ponce and Weiss. The key is whether Hanwha wins one game in Jamsil. First of all, it seems that we will have to do our best in the first game. The probability of winning the first round, which is 73.2%, is also a probability, and when Moon Dong-joo comes out, the probability of winning seems high. In particular, the first game is when the team's batters who have been waiting for them have the dullest sense of hitting. At that time, Mun Dong-ju's fastball 160km can shine. On top of that, LG hitters can have more trouble because it is a daytime game.
