The Samsung Lions, who overcame their slump in early May and broke their winning percentage of 50% in May, will play three consecutive away games during the week against the SSG Landers, the only team that has not won this season, starting on May 14.
Samsung, which finished April as the No. 1 KBO league winning percentage, slowed down in early May, but last week, it ignited a top-ranked competition with a 3-2 record against the leading KIA Tigers and second-ranked rival NC Dinos.
This week’s first opponent, SSG, suffered its first sweep of the season against Samsung, which they met in the 2024 season’s home opener, conceding all three games at the time.
Samsung, which recorded only three losses to SSG, an opponent it met in the midst of an eight-game losing streak, was the only KBO league opponent team that failed to win.
Although it is early in the season, the only teams Samsung has not gained the upper hand in the opponent’s record are the third-place LG Twins (2 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses), which are currently trailing by 0.5 games, and the sixth-place SSG.
Samsung, which is determined to add a game gap with the mid-range at the same time as its first win in this face-to-face confrontation, is currently tied for second place by two games with the leading KIA with 23 wins, 1 draw and 17 losses and a 0.575 win rate.
As it is possible to take the lead depending on this week’s results, Samsung is determined to concentrate on building wins as much as possible in the away game against SSG and the home game against the Hanwha Eagles.
In the first game that will determine the superiority of the midweek series, Samsung has Won Tae-in (5-1, 1.55 ERA), who is tied for first in multiple wins in the league as a starter and is second in ERA, and the opponent SSG announced Oh Won-seok, who is trying to win three games in the season.
