8th and 9th place? A weak fight? One, two, three, punch...A Blood Battle that Will Remind KS

Hanwha Eagles and KT Wiz will meet in the last three consecutive games of the first half. It is an interesting match with many points to watch.
The two teams will play three consecutive games at Hanwha Life Eagles Park in Daejeon from the 2nd. It is the last three consecutive games ahead of the All-Star break.
By ranking alone, it could be 'Unpopular Match'. Hanwha is eighth and KT is ninth. However, given the recent atmosphere, there is no need to worry about that. The two teams must beat each other and rise to set the stage for a rebound in the second half. A great deal of blood is expected.
Hanwha's team is getting stronger after the appointment of head coach Kim Kyung-moon as a `master.' It is 8th, but only 4 games apart from 5th place SSG Landers. The same goes for KT. It has achieved four consecutive winning series since last week amid the gaze that it will really not come up this year, reducing the number of wins against the top team. It is a short-term gap with Hanwha, and there is a possibility that it can rise to sixth place depending on the results of the three consecutive games. It is a 'scary 9th place' with experience, which went from last place to second place last year.
While head coach Kim laid down his position as NC Dinos head coach and was a wild man, head coach Lee was reborn as a new 'master' succeeding head coach Kim's generation. It is also worth watching the resourcefulness match between the two veteran coaches. In particular, all teams this season are in a difficult position to pitch. I wonder how he will manage the pitcher in the last three consecutive games in the first half.
First of all, there is a spark in the selection fight. Hanwha saved the starting lineup by failing to play two games against the Lotte Giants on the weekend. Weiss, Ryu Hyun-jin, and Barria are all available. KT's rotation is exquisite from the first starter. Cuevas and Benjamin prepare even Um Sang-baek, who survived the defeat crisis with a no-game match against the Samsung Lions on the 29th.
Hanwha is leading this season with 6 wins and 3 losses. Hanwha swept three consecutive games in Daejeon when it won seven consecutive games in March. He played with KT in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province, for the first time since Kim took office. KT was also the winner of the return match.
However, KT has won three consecutive games, seven wins, one draw and two losses in the last 10 games, making it difficult to predict the results easily. In the end, the first game of the three consecutive games on the 2nd is important. Depending on the results of the first game, the direction of the three consecutive games can be completely different.
