⚾ Starting Pitchers
LG are set to start Lee Jong-eun. On the matchup page against Hanwha, he is listed as 0-0 against this opponent and carries a season line of 0-0 with a 5.14 ERA, while the team page shows 7 innings and a 1.71 WHIP. It's not a case of a fully established form, but for LG, the context is crucial: the team enters the game on a good run and doesn't require immediate dominance from their starter. They often just need a steady start without an early collapse.
Hanwha will counter with Hwang Jun-seo, and by the numbers, this appears more intriguing. The young left-hander boasts a 3.38 ERA, a 1.38 WHIP, and 11 strikeouts over eight innings, with no head-to-head history against LG this season. For the visitors, it's a prime opportunity to shift the series' momentum through the starting duel: given his current line, Hwang seems capable of delivering several solid early innings and putting pressure back on LG's batting lineup.
