LG beat the SK Wyverns 13 - 5 on the 1st and increased the winning streak to '5'.
He keeps the third place in the second place by two games after chasing the second place Kiwoom Heroes by one game and the fourth place Doosan Bears by two games.
For a while, LG failed to untangle the "Team to go down" (DTD): It went well and then fell down in one crisis and repeated its work of feeding.
But this year it is definitely different: I have a back-up.
According to the monthly rankings, LG started May with 16 wins and 7 losses, second overall.
He fell to seventh place (12 wins, 13 losses) in June, then moved up to fifth place (11 wins, 1 draw, 12 losses) in July.
In August, he finished with the best 16 wins, 1 draw and 8 losses among 10 clubs, making up for the loss in June and July, and building 16 more multipliers based on the winning rate of 500.
If you go through the remaining 46 games as you are now, you can carry the expectation of the Korean series' recapture for 26 years until the end of the season.
The power that was not there last year, the contribution of the new face is significant.
The presence of foreign giant Roberto Jordi Alba is absolute.
Jordi Alba hit a three-run homer against SK on the 1st, and LG hit a 30-home run in 21 years since Lee Byung-kyu in 1999.
If you hit one more, you will record the most home runs in a season with LG. It is a significant record that will be born in 30 years.
Jordi Alba hit 10 home runs in August alone, leading LG to a rise.
According to the ranking of victory contribution (WRA) against substitutes of statistics, Jordi Alba ranks 8th among all batters with 3.73.
The big success of 'used rookie' Hong Chang-gi, who filled LG's top hitter gap, is also indispensable.
Hong Chang-gi hit .275 with three home runs and 21 RBIs to help improve his scoring ability.
Hong Chang-gi, who made his debut in 2016 and played only 38 games until last year, has been recognized for his skills in 89 games, more than that double this year. The Hong Chang-gi WAR is also good at 2.49.
Hong Chang-gi also hit .326 with two home runs in August, making him a stellar offense.
Lee Min-ho, who has 4-2 with a 3.39 ERA in 12 games, is outstanding among pitchers.
Although the recent two consecutive games have been five runs, the uptrend has been broken, but he is in the process of winning his first professional season with a five-star position.
The WAR of Lee Min-ho is 1.60.
Some players are below expectations, but LG is preparing for the final round of the season by building a more structured power thanks to New players who have won more than seven wins than substitutes like Jordi Alba, Hong Chang-gi and Lee Min-ho.
