Analysis and Prediction for Kiwoom vs LG Game







17200663292631.png





Kiwoom, which succeeded in 6 consecutive wins thanks to strong pitching, is aiming for a 7th consecutive win by deploying Ha Young-min (6 wins, 4 losses, 4.91). Ha Young-min, who secured an awkward victory with a pitch of 5 innings and 4 runs on the 28th against KIA, has had poor pitching in the last two games. It's significant that he has managed to allow only 1 run over 10 innings, both home and away, against LG this season. Kiwoom's batting lineup, which scored 4 points targeting Ens in the previous game, was greatly boosted by left-handed hitters contributing early on. The price of Cho Sang-woo, who got another save, seems cheapest today.





LG, whose batting slump has led to a losing streak, is putting Im Chan-kyu (4 wins, 3 losses, 4.31) on the mound to prevent a sweep. Im Chan-kyu, who showed his strength with a pitch of 5 innings, 3 hits, and 1 run in his return to the first team on the 23rd in a home game against KT, is reassuring just by showing he is healthy. On March 30th, he lost with 6 runs in 5 innings in an away game against Kiwoom, and pitching at Gocheok Dome may be an issue. LG's batting lineup, which was thoroughly blocked by Jesus in the previous game and managed to score only 1 run against Joo Seung-woo, continues to show extreme concentration problems with 1 point out of 10 chances. The scoring issue when long hits are not coming is quite serious.





Game Prediction







Following Ariel Jurado, LG was blocked by pitchers they are vulnerable to for two consecutive games, including Emmanuel Jesus. While Ha Young-min seems manageable, he tends to pitch very well following Jesus and is strong against LG. However, Im Chan-kyu has been pitching like an ace since June, and Kiwoom cannot use their winning bullpen unless they consider using relievers for three consecutive games. This will decide the match. LG, which has the upper hand in pitching, is closer to victory.



Expected Score



LG 5:3 Victory





Analysis Result



Win: LG Victory



Handicap: Kiwoom Victory



Under/Over: Under
