The two best clubs in the Korean baseball standings will square off in their final series before the annual midseason break this week, with the top spot up for grabs.
The LG Twins, in first place with a record of 51-31-0 (wins-losses-ties), will visit second-place Samsung Lions (49-31-2) at Daegu Samsung Lions Park in the southeastern city of Daegu from Tuesday to Thursday.
This is their final three-game set before the All-Star break, which will go on from Friday to July 15. The season will resume July 16.
The Twins, the defending Korean Series champions who also won the 2023 title, have been in first place every day since May 30. However, they are now in danger of falling to second place, as the Lions have moved within one game on the heels of their four-game winning streak.
