◈Hanwha
Ryu Hyun-jin (8 wins, 7 losses, 3.84) is challenging for his 9th win of the season. Having won with an impressive performance of 7 innings and 1 run allowed against Doosan on the 25th, Ryu has solidified his advantage over them. He tends to be sensitive to matchups, but his 7 innings and 2 runs allowed at home against KT is noteworthy. It is disappointing that Hanwha's lineup, which scored 11 points against Lotte's pitching staff in Thursday's game, failed to capitalize on more scoring opportunities. There is some hope for their batting performance at home. The bullpen, which allowed 10 runs over 7 innings, will be hurt by Hwang Jun-seo's struggles.
◈KT
William Cuevas (5 wins, 11 losses, 3.87) is vying for his 6th win of the season. Having lost after pitching 6.2 innings and allowing 4 runs in an away game against SSG on the 25th, Cuevas couldn't maintain his momentum of three consecutive good outings. He has shown weakness at home against Hanwha but strength on the road, so he needs to bet on that in this match as well. Despite the loss the previous day, KT's lineup scored 7 runs, including 3 home runs, indicating that they are still in good batting form. They will need to rely on this aspect even in away games. Having left Moon Yong-ik to pitch 3.1 innings in a blowout was likely an unavoidable choice.
◈Comment
Currently, both teams have very similar characteristics. Their batting is strong, and the bullpen is hard to trust, except for the closer. The starting pitchers for this match have favorable matchups with each other. A close contest is expected, and the difference between home and away games typically has a significant impact, with Hanwha performing far better at home. Hanwha, with the home advantage, is closer to victory.
