Summary
No club has finished last in four straight seasons in the current 10-team setting. Although both teams dealt with a slew of injuries, they have managed to separate themselves from the rest of the 10-team league. The Twins are the defending Korean Series champions and are trying to become the first team in 10 years to capture back-to-back titles.
Furthermore, Lewin Diaz, who belted 50 homers in 2025, has 16 so far this year. The Bears, another non-playoff team from 2025, put themselves in the hunt by entering the break in fifth place at 44-41-2.
