Kiwoom, which succeeded in winning streaks with an explosive batting lineup, will challenge for a series sweep with Emmanuel De Jesus (7 wins, 3 losses, 3.44 ERA). On the 4th, De Jesus proved once again to be an LG killer by pitching six innings and allowing one earned run in the away game against LG. Although he won a somewhat embarrassing victory with five innings and four earned runs in the away game against Samsung on May 29th, he must capitalize on the advantage of the home game this time. In the previous day's game, Kiwoom's batting lineup, which scored 10 runs including Sung-seon's three-run homer by targeting Connor and Choi Hae-nul, showed tremendous momentum. Sung-seon, who scored five RBIs alone, continues to play at an All-Star level. Although the bullpen allowed one earned run in three innings, Kim Seon-gi's pitching was disappointing.
Samsung, which suffered four consecutive losses due to a pitching collapse, will send Lee Seung-hyun (3 wins, 3 losses, 4.20 ERA) to the mound to prevent further defeat. Seung-hyun's best season performance came out when it was crucial, recording six innings and one earned run in the away game against SSG on the 4th. On May 29th, he experienced the worst pitching performance of the season with three innings and eight earned runs in the home game against Kiwoom, but the revenge chance came sooner than expected. In the previous day's game, Samsung's batting lineup, which missed countless chances against Jurado, managed only to score three runs with 11 hits, failing to overcome the aftermath of the come-from-behind defeat in game one. The loss of long-hit opportunities was particularly painful. The bullpen allowed two earned runs in 3.1 innings but it was fortunate that the use was minimized.
Kiwoom’s momentum is formidable, especially since it's a home game. Even though both starting pitches were not good during the last match, this game is held at Kiwoom’s home, not Samsung’s. De Jesus has pitching experience after four days of rest, whereas this is the first time for Seung-hyun. Moreover, this is the first day game appearance for Seung-hyun this year, but De Jesus has recorded 13 scoreless innings in day games so far. With Kiwoom leading in starting pitching, they are closer to victory.
Predicted Score: Kiwoom 8:3 Victory
Victory: Kiwoom wins
Handicap: Kiwoom wins
Over/Under: Over
