The season series leans LG, but the middle and late innings give this matchup a different shape. Doosan has kept producing runs deep into recent games, while LG has surrendered late runs in consecutive losses. That overlap, along with Lim Chan-gyu’s short latest start, is the point my judgment turns on.
Doosan scored repeatedly in its recent games at Samsung and added two runs in the ninth to beat Lotte. LG allowed KIA three ninth-inning runs in back-to-back games. Those inning-by-inning results give Doosan a route to keep pressing after the starters leave.
Lim lasted three innings against SSG in his latest start, allowing six hits and four earned runs. The season meetings still matter, but the recent pitching handover and Doosan’s continued scoring make this particular matchup look different.
