The Samsung Lions are waiting for the wild card game. NC Dinos and KT Wiz fight until the last day for the last place. No matter which team comes up, Samsung is absolutely advantageous.

As of the 2nd, when there are four games left in the regular season, only the 5th and 6th places in the 2025 KBO League have not been decided.

NC, ranked fifth, recorded a winning rate of 0.5109 with 70 wins, 6 draws and 67 losses in 143 games. KT, ranked sixth, has a winning rate of 0.5108 with 71 wins, 4 draws and 68 losses.




It will be decided through the final match on the 3rd. NC brings SSG, which has been confirmed for third place, to its home turf Changwon. KT will have a match against the second-place Hanwha Eagles at home.

If NC wins, it is fifth place regardless of the KT result. If NC ends up in a draw, if KT wins, the ranking will be reversed. If KT is also a draw, NC is still in fifth place. If NC loses, KT will regain fifth place even if it wins more than a draw.

It is a good thing for fourth-ranked Samsung. This is because both teams have to fight until the last day of the potential wild card match. Samsung confirmed fourth place with a 5-0 victory over KIA on Sept. 30. There is no game on October 1st and 2nd, and the last match is against KIA in Gwangju on the 3rd. KIA is also the team that ranked eighth. It is a game that Samsung does not need to use up its stamina because it does not affect the ranking fight.




The wild card match will be held at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 5th. Samsung can enter the series while taking enough rest and maintaining a sense of play. Looking at the schedule, it couldn't be better. Whether it is NC or KT, Samsung has an absolute advantage physically.

Of course, there are some things to be wary of.

If NC comes up, the momentum is quite tricky. NC is on an eight-game winning streak. In an atmosphere of winning consecutively, mysterious forces are often emitted regardless of their physical strength. If NC wins the final game and comes to Daegu with nine consecutive wins, Samsung cannot be relieved.




KT's pitching staff is not easy. If KT plays in the wild card game, foreign pitcher Heyesus is expected to start. In addition to Ko Young-pyo, a starter on the 3rd, 10-win pitcher So Hyung-joon and Oh Won-seok can wait. Samsung was very weak against KT this year with 5 wins and 11 losses. Heyesus was very strong with three wins and one loss and a 1.44 ERA in four games against Samsung.
