The biggest feature of this season's game. There is no strong or weak person.

The leading KIA Tigers widened the gap between second place and 4.5 games at the start of the second half, but the winning rate is still only 60%. The lowest-ranked Kiwoom Heroes has a winning rate of 435.

The reason why it's not easy to get away. This is because the power is not overwhelming. Injuries are also playing a part.



Even the top teams have a lot of wins and losses. The phenomenon of being strong against a specific team and weak against a specific team is also noticeable.

The leading KIA is overwhelming with 8 wins and 1 loss against the NC Dinos. However, it is weak with 3 wins and 7 losses to SSG Landers and 3 wins, 1 draw and 7 losses to Lotte Giants. After sweeping the second-place LG match and winning six consecutive games, the team lost 6-14 to SSG, which met on the 12th, putting the brakes on.



SSG, which shows confidence when it meets KIA, has become infinitely small with 1 win and 9 losses when it meets NC, which is absolutely inferior to KIA.

Doosan is strong against NC and KT with 8 wins and 3 losses, respectively, but it gets twisted when it meets Samsung. He is absolutely strong with one win and nine losses.

On the 12th, the first meeting in the second half of the year, he was held back by Samsung with a score of 5-9. Kwak Bin, a native ace who rested for two more days, withdrew after allowing six runs (five earned runs) without completing the fourth inning. Coach Lee Seung-yeop was sent off while protesting against video reading, but there was no reversal.



It will be Doosan's debut match with new foreigners such as Kisho Shirakawa on the 13th and Jordan Balazovic on the 14th. Samsung is embarrassed, saying, `Why are you hitting us (Ace)," but Doosan has no choice but to do so.

From Samsung's point of view, the overwhelming advantage over Doosan is worth a change.

Since 2016, when Doosan's 'Dynasties' and Samsung's 'Dark Period' intersect, Samsung has not been able to work well when it meets Doosan.

Doosan won 10-6 in 2016, 12 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses in 2017, 12 wins and 4 losses in 2018, and 13 wins and 3 losses in 2019. He had an absolute advantage of 47 wins, 1 draw, and 16 losses in four years from 2016 to 2019.

During this period, Doosan got excited when it came to Samsung's home Lions Park.

Doosan hitters, who used the widest Jamsil Stadium as their home, easily crossed the fence in batter-friendly Rafak.

From 2016 to 2019, Kim Jae-hwan hit 11 home runs in 28 games in Rafak, Oh Jae-il hit 8 home runs in 22 games, and Park Gun-woo hit 7 home runs in 28 games. Considering that he played less than 30 games, it was like a home run party.

But there are no more home run parties. Doosan has seven home runs in six Lions Park games. On the other hand, Samsung has 68 home runs in 44 home games.
