The fight between the spear and the shield for the ‘1st place’ in professional baseball begins. The first confrontation of the season between LG, which is making progress despite the tumultuous atmosphere due to the player gambling scandal, and NC, which is on the rise enough to forget the absence of injuries to key players.
LG and NC are tied for second place without a ride with SSG (8 wins and 4 losses) with 9 wins and 5 losses side by side. Depending on the outcome of the first clash, the opportunity to rise to the top opens up.
In particular, NC’s behavior at the beginning of the season is unusual. Taylor Widener, one of the foreign one-two punchers, withdrew due to back pain before the season, and Jason Martin, the central hitter, missed the entry due to an internal oblique muscle injury.
On the 14th, against SSG in Incheon, homemaker Park Se-hyeok was hit in the head by a pitch and escaped. On the 15th, infielder Seo Ho-cheol was hit in the head by a pitch and is recovering. Despite a series of bad injuries, NC achieved the first sweep of the season with Kiwoom on the 7th and 9th, and last week won 2 wins and 1 loss against KT and SSG, respectively, and took a consecutive winning series.
Against this, LG recorded 3 wins and 3 losses last week, matching the win rate to 50%. In three consecutive away matches against Lotte, they allowed two defeats by one point and won 1 win, 2 losses, and in three consecutive weekend matches against Doosan, they won 2 wins and 1 loss, taking the winning series. 토토사이트
The two teams’ last 10 matches are 7 wins and 3 losses. Here, as of the 17th, LG is running first in the league with a team batting average of 0.296. It is a powerful attack power. On the other hand, the NC of the opposite point has a team ERA of 2.49, the lowest among all clubs. The mound is high and hard.
In other words, the three consecutive matches between the two teams during the week are literally compressed into a spear and shield confrontation. As it is a good stage for both teams to rise to first place, a fierce match without concessions is expected.
