A sense of crisis is gradually hanging over the LG Twins, who are cruising to the lead in professional baseball alone.스포츠토토
As of Tuesday, LG is leading the way with a winning rate of over 70 percent (0.714; 20 wins and 8 losses). Up until mid-April, LG had a winning rate of over 80 percent, raising the possibility of winning "Wire to Wire."
It was typical of a strong team that rarely lost consecutive games until mid-April, but recorded its first losing streak this week.
In the three consecutive weekend series against SSG, which began on the 18th, LG first won two games to confirm the winning series, but failed to achieve a sweep by losing the last game. He then lost his first showdown with NC during the week, recording his first consecutive defeat of the season.
He immediately succeeded in avenging himself, but lost the last game of the weekday series and recorded his first losing series of this season.
LG, which is currently playing three consecutive away weekend games against KIA in Gwangju, had a tight match by giving one win each in the previous two games, but if it loses the game on the 27th, it will record its second consecutive losing series.
The opposing starting pitcher facing KIA's foreign ace James Nail in the last game of the weekend's three consecutive games.
Beyond KIA, Nail is the best pitcher in the KBO League this season in name and reality.
He started six games this season and has two wins, no losses, and an ERA of 0.74. Although his luck is limited to two wins, he is ranking first in ERA by far with the only zero score in the league.
Nail pitched well against LG last season. She had three wins and no loss in five games with an ERA of 2.43 and a batting average of just 0.228.
Nails are more powerful than last season, so LG expects a difficult game.
He is still in the lead by an overwhelming margin, but while he has slowed down a bit due to a 50% win rate (five wins and five losses) in the recent 10 games, Samsung and Lotte, which are tied for second place, have narrowed the gap to three games, which could put him under pressure.
LG is facing a crisis as alternative starting pitchers have not been able to fill the gap when foreign pitcher Eliaser Hernandez left due to injury.
If the team wins its second consecutive losing series, its initial good momentum could be dampened. As a result, LG's native ace Lim Chan-kyu, who will face off as a starting pitcher, has become quite heavy on his shoulders.
