Samsung

Baek Jung-hyun (2 wins 4.44 ERA) takes the mound to prevent a losing streak. Baek Jung-hyun, who secured victory on the 12th with a 5-inning, 4-run performance against Doosan, has shown that his performance isn't as good when facing a team for the second time. However, he's known for his strength in home games and was strong against Lotte last year with a 6-inning, 2-run performance at home, which brings hope. The problem with Samsung's lineup is that they only scored 4 runs with 2 home runs off Aldred and Kim Seung-hyun in the previous game, continuing their slump against KIA. Whether they can rebound at home may determine the series' outcome. The bullpen, which allowed 7 runs in 6 innings, is not promising as both the chase and relief squads are unreliable.

Lotte

Kim Jin-wook (2 wins 4.33 ERA) aims to shift the momentum. Kim Jin-wook, who showed a surprising performance on the 13th at home against KT with 5.1 innings and 1 run, managed to overcome his struggles against KT, which is fortunate. However, he struggled with a 4.1-inning, 3-run game against Samsung at home on May 25th, highlighting his significant weakness in away games. Lotte’s lineup, which only scored 2 runs with Jeon Jun-woo's first-inning home run off Kwak Bin in the previous game, couldn't overcome Kwak Bin and Kim Taek-yeon's fastballs, leading to a loss. Showing weakness is not a good sign. The only positive was limiting bullpen use to just Kim Kang-hyun thanks to Park Se-woong's 8 innings of pitching.

Comment

In the previous game, Lotte's lineup was thoroughly blocked by Kwak Bin's fastballs, resulting in a loss. Furthermore, considering their weakness against left-handed starters, it seems unlikely they will rebound in this game. Although Samsung struggled against KIA the other day, they did manage to defeat Yang Hyun-jong on the road. Additionally, Kim Jin-wook shows a significant difference in performance between home and away games. Samsung, with the advantage of being at home, is closer to victory.
