⚾️ Starting Pitchers
Starting Pitchers
The home team has named An Woo-jin as their starter. Against Lotte, he holds a 0-0 record with a 0.00 ERA, and for the season, he maintains a 0-0 record and a 0.00 ERA. While his name alone adds intrigue, it's crucial not to romanticize a blank slate: after a break and with a limited sample size, what is most needed from him is game control rather than marquee status. If he can immediately dominate the zone, Kiwoom will have the best chance to revive the series.
Lotte hands the ball to Park Se-woong. Against Kiwoom, he also has a 0-0 record with a 0.00 ERA, and for the season, he stands at 0-1 with a 2.70 ERA. His line appears workmanlike and calm enough for this series. Given Lotte's current form, Park Se-woong doesn't need to be perfect; he just needs to provide a solid foundation so that the offense can seize their opportunity when it comes.
Editor's Prediction
We believe the visitors have every reason to aim for a 3-0 series here. Kiwoom, of course, are at home and potentially get a crucial start from An Woo-jin, but the hosts' issues run deeper than just one pitcher: they have already failed twice to impose their game on Lotte. The Giants boast a stronger batting lineup, have already endured an extra inning, and shown they can win not just through quick offensive bursts. In our view, if Lotte can avoid a poor start and stay close until mid-game, the visitors' pressure will begin to mount significantly. Our pick - Lotte Giants to win.
