On the mound, Samsung will start Choi Won-tae. Although Choi Won-tae's season record is 2 wins and 3 losses with a 4.83 ERA over 11 games, he has a positive memory against Kiwoom, having pitched 6 ⅓ innings with just 1 earned run to earn a win in a previous outing. Opposing him for Kiwoom is rookie Park Jun-hyun. While Park Jun-hyun earned a debut win against Samsung with 5 scoreless innings, he has struggled since then, going 6 consecutive starts without a win. In terms of bullpen strength, Samsung's bullpen has shown stability in maintaining leads, whereas Kiwoom has a higher ERA in the middle to late innings, suggesting Samsung will have an advantage in the later stages of the game.

Samsung has announced their starting lineup for today's game, featuring Kim Ji-chan (CF), Kim Sung-yoon (RF), Koo Ja-wook (DH), Lewin Diaz (1B), Park Seung-gyu (LF), Jeon Byung-woo (3B), Kim Jae-sang (2B), Kim Do-hwan (C), and Yang Woo-hyun (SS). After yesterday's strong pitching performance by Won Tae-in and focused hitting, Samsung aims for their fourth consecutive win with Choi Won-tae on the mound today. Overall, the Samsung Lions are anticipated to have the upper hand in both pitching and hitting, with a strong likelihood of securing a victory supported by their home crowd.
