Who will sprinkle “red pepper powder” on the top teams in the 2024 KBO League professional baseball? Only 30 to 39 games are left for each team as of before the game on the 14th. Since the last place also has hope to be in the top five, unpredictable games are expected to unfold until the end.안전놀이터
Coincidentally, the top-five teams of professional baseball on the 13th captured all the mid-to-lowest teams. The No. 1 KIA Tigers defeated the bottom-ranked Kiwoom Heroes 2-0. The No. 2 LG Twins and the No. 3 Samsung Lions defeated the No. 9 Hanwha Eagles and the No. 6 KT Wiz. The No. 5 SSG Landers defeated the No. 7 NC Dinos. The No. 4 Doosan Base and No. 8 Lotte Giants Jamsil games were canceled due to rain.
If this trend continues, the ranking of the top five teams may become fixed. The problem is that the top teams this season have “natural enemies.” The leading Kia has failed to show strength when it meets Lotte. It is inferior to Lotte with three wins, seven losses and one draw. This is why it is important to win or lose the remaining five games against Lotte, including the three consecutive games to be held in Gwangju from the 20th. Doosan also staged a tight match against Lotte (5 wins, five losses and one draw). LG is tied with Hanwha with five wins and five losses, while Samsung is trailing KT (5 wins, six losses and one draw).
The red pepper powder team that is holding back the top teams at the end of this season is expected to be Kiwoom. Depending on the team’s opponent, Kiwoom is engaged in extreme and extreme games. While the team is lagging behind KIA (3 wins and 6 losses) and Doosan (5 wins and 9 losses), it has displayed strength against LG by posting seven wins and four losses. The team is also similar to Samsung by posting six wins and five losses.
Kiwoom still has seven more games to play against KIA. It has to play five games each with LG and Samsung, and two more with Doosan. With 33 games left in the regular season, KIA will have to face off against Kiwoom for one fifth of its entire schedule. If KIA almost sweeps it, it seems that it has lost its No. 1 ranking in the league. On the contrary, if the team gets a blow to Kiwoom, the battle for ranking will fall into the fog. The same goes for the rest of the team, who has a long way to go. If Kiwoom, which failed to give up advancing to the semifinals beyond last place, grabs the chance.
SSG also cannot be complacent. It is worrisome that it is losing ground to KT and NC, which have 10-4 advantage over Kiwoom but are competing in the semifinals. They are 5-6 and 2-9, respectively. NC, which has only two wins this season, is in a position to have a head-to-head match to decide whether to advance to the fall baseball league. It took a breather as it secured its first win in about two months at the game on Saturday.
