The LG–KIA rematch has been decided in the last few outs twice running. LG rallied late in both games, and KIA answered in the ninth each time, so the useful question is how each side handles the next late scoring chance. A close score alone doesn't tell that story; the inning sequence does.
In the latest provisional game record, LG scored twice in the eighth to move ahead before KIA scored three in the ninth and won 6–5. In the previous meeting, LG scored twice in the seventh to level it, then KIA put up the ninth-inning run in a 5–4 win. Those were different routes to the same narrow finish, and neither is a script for this match. I'd watch whether LG can turn a late opening into a lead it can hold, and whether KIA can keep finding a reply after LG changes the game.
