NC, whose lack of concentration in their batting lineup has led to a losing streak, will attempt to break the streak with the card of Kim Si-hoon (2 wins, 1 loss, 4.42 ERA). Kim Si-hoon suffered a defeat with a poor performance of 7 runs in 3.1 innings in the home game against KIA on the 30th. Since May, his strength has been showing a sharp decline. Although it’s his first time facing Doosan, considering his recent poor home games, we may need to worry if he can last well for 5 innings. In the previous game, NC's batting lineup revealed a serious issue with concentration, managing only 1 run off an important hit by Park Gun-woo in the bottom of the 9th, despite getting 15 runners on base. The fact that their batting at home games is poorer compared to away games is a significant problem. Ryu Jin-wook, who gives up runs whenever he takes the mound, might be better off considered absent this season.
Doosan, having succeeded in breaking their losing streak after a tight game that extended to extra innings, will strive for a winning streak with Gwak Bin (5 wins, 4 losses, 3.20 ERA). Gwak Bin secured a win with an outstanding performance of 6 scoreless innings in the home game against KT on the 30th. Among his recent 4 games, he has thrown more than 6 scoreless innings in 3 games. On April 24th, he pitched 6 innings and allowed 1 run against NC at home, and given his current form, expectations for his performance are high even on the road. Doosan’s batting lineup, which scored 4 runs against Hart and Ryu Jin-wook in the previous game, needs to reflect on the missed opportunities before the extra innings began. However, unlike NC, Doosan’s batters proved themselves in the extra innings. Hong Gun-hee, who blew away Kim Tae-kyun’s win in the bottom of the 9th inning, is fortunate not to have allowed a reversal with 1 out and bases loaded.
It can’t be denied that the previous game was a collaborative loss by NC’s recent poor batting lineup and bullpen. With the current hitting, it seems extremely difficult to target Gwak Bin. Meanwhile, Kim Si-hoon’s pitching is deteriorating, and Doosan’s batting lineup is making a rebound on the road. Doosan appears closer to victory given their edge in starting pitchers.
