⚾ Starting Pitchers
Choi Won Tae, the right-hander for Samsung, holds a 7-4 record with a 4.37 ERA. He’s started all 21 of his appearances, logging 113⅓ innings, allowing 117 hits, striking out 106 batters, conceding 60 runs, and posting a 1.36 WHIP. Choi has delivered eight quality starts this season, but hasn’t recorded a complete game or a shutout. Overall, it’s been a solid campaign for him, though consistency remains an issue.
Im Chan Kyu, LG’s righty, boasts a 13-5 record with a 4.14 ERA. Over 25 starts and 139 innings pitched, he’s given up 152 hits, struck out 79, allowed 66 runs, and carries a 1.38 WHIP. Im has registered 12 quality starts, but like Choi, has yet to notch a complete game or shutout. With similar ERA and WHIP figures, Im’s edge comes from his heavier workload this season and his stronger win-loss record.
⭐ Editor’s Prediction
Samsung have the edge in season BA and team ERA, but the starting pitching matchup doesn’t give the hosts a clear advantage. Im Chan-gyu and Choi Won-tae post similar numbers, while recent head-to-head clashes have often stayed close until the late innings. LG just snapped their losing streak with a 4-3 win in Daegu, and the last 10 meetings are split evenly at 5-5. The visitors match Samsung in home run production and, after two days’ rest, bring a fresh bullpen-crucial against Samsung’s strong late-game offense. In what looks like a toss-up, LG are well positioned to capitalize on their chances again. We’re backing an LG win.
