Back-to-back wins over their direct rivals not only secured fifth place, but also showcased the team’s resilience in different situations: on September 29, Doosan controlled the game for a 5-2 win, and the following day, they rallied from a 3-5 deficit in the ninth inning to claim a dramatic 6-5 victory. Their home record remains positive, while the bullpen has been boosted by a strong September stretch from Takuto Takada.
Match Results: Doosan Bears
The Dinos have suffered back-to-back defeats at Jamsil, but now they turn to their most reliable starter of the series.
The Dinos have a slight edge at the plate, batting .270 compared to .266, but that advantage is offset by a much less reliable pitching staff. Over the season, NC post a 4.71 ERA, and their two games at Jamsil once again exposed late-game issues: first dropping a 2-5 decision, then squandering a 5-3 lead in the final inning. Now, after back-to-back losses, the Dinos are set to face one of Doosan’s most consistent starting pitchers.

⚾ Starting Pitchers
Choi Min Seok, a right-hander for Doosan, has started all 25 of his appearances this season, posting a 14-4 record with a 2.73 ERA and a 1.28 WHIP. Over 138.2 innings, he has allowed 125 hits and 54 runs while striking out 121 batters. He has delivered 15 quality starts, though he has yet to throw a complete game or a shutout. In his last five outings before the current break, Choi limited opponents to no more than two runs on four occasions.
Son Myung Gi, the righty for NC, has made 21 appearances but only three starts, recording a 1-2 record with a 5.18 ERA and a 1.55 WHIP. Across 33 innings, he has given up 36 hits and 19 runs, striking out 32. He has yet to record a quality start, complete game, or shutout this season. In his most recent start against KT, Son lasted just 3.1 innings and surrendered three runs.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
Doosan have asserted their dominance over NC for two consecutive nights, and Game 3 offers the hosts an even more favorable setup. Choi Min Seok enters with a 2.73 ERA, a 14-4 record, and 15 quality starts, while Son Myung Gi-primarily a reliever this season-carries a 5.18 ERA and a 1.55 WHIP into his start. The last 10 head-to-head meetings heavily favor the Bears, who lead 8-2 with a 73:44 run differential, and the home side’s team ERA is nearly a full run lower. Even if Doosan ease off after clinching their playoff spot and don’t push hard from the opening innings, their superior starting pitching and more reliable bullpen should allow them to control the game throughout. We’re backing a Doosan win.
