The San Diego Padres, the team of Kim Ha-sung (27) and Choi Ji-man (32), lost three consecutive games, making it virtually difficult to advance to autumn baseball. With 27 games remaining, he recorded 62 wins and 73 losses, 8.5 games away from the San Francisco Giants (70 wins and 64 losses), the third-ranked wild card in the National League.

The Pittsburgh Pirates of Bae Ji-hwan (24), who is ranked fourth in the National League Central, are also far from advancing to the postseason. Pittsburgh (61-73) has one less win than San Diego.

It could be the Major League Baseball (MLB) postseason without a Korean big leaguer, and "eldest brother" Ryu Hyun-jin (36, Toronto Blue Jays) remained the only hope.

As of the 1st, Toronto has the best performance among the Korean big leaguers with 73 wins and 61 losses. However, he is 10.5 games away from the Baltimore Orioles (83 wins and 50 losses), the No. 1 player in the American League East, so he has to aim for autumn baseball as a wild card.

Toronto is currently in fourth place on the wild card list, and it needs to take at least one step up to reach the postseason stage. There is a good chance.

Toronto is 3.5 games behind the wild-card second-ranked Houston Astros (77 wins and 58 losses) and 2.5 games behind the third-ranked Texas Rangers (75 wins and 58 losses). This distance can change fate depending on the results of the remaining matches.

The key is whether Toronto can take a steady rise. Toronto played 27 games in August, local time, with 14 wins and 13 losses, just over 50% of the winning rate. He failed to cheer up at an important time when he was in full-fledged ranking competition.

Toronto will face its wild-card rivals, Texas, and tough American League East teams, one after another, starting Sept. 12.

Prior to this, the Colorado Rockies, Oakland Athletics, and Kansas City Royals should rebound and rise through nine consecutive games. Colorado, Oakland, and Kansas City are weak teams with a winning rate of less than 30% with the lowest in each district. 스포츠토토

Ahead of an important series, Ryu Hyun-jin cuts the first tape with a heavy responsibility. Ryu Hyun-jin will start the away game against Colorado at 9:40 a.m. on the 2nd (Korea Standard Time) at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado.

It may be burdensome to pitch at Coors Field, notorious for its "grave of pitchers," but this is the same condition for Colorado pitchers. Ryu Hyun-jin needs to recall good memories at that time as he pitched six innings, three hits, one walk, one strikeout, and no runs in the game on August 1, 2019, when he most recently took the mound at Coors Field.

Toronto's firepower is not bad, with 32 points in the last five games. If Ryu Hyun-jin holds out with a minimum number of runs, chances are high that he will win.

It has only been a month since he recovered from an elbow injury and returned to the Major League stage, but Ryu Hyun-jin has become the team's bluebird with his reliable appearance. Even if the ball is not fast, he overwhelmed his opponents with powerful changeups, curves, sophisticated control, and skillful ball control. Toronto has a high winning rate, with four wins and one loss in five games that Ryu Hyun-jin took the mound.

If Ryu Hyun-jin also pitched well against Colorado and leads the team to victory with four consecutive wins, Toronto's hope for autumn baseball could also grow.
