Ryu Hyun-jin is heading towards Asia's first Cy Young, and his next two starts are the biggest challenges. If you overwhelm Atlanta and the New York Yankees, you'll win the Cy Young Award.

In the rotational order, Ryu will be in the home game against the New York Yankees on the 24th following the Atlanta expedition on the 18th.

Both teams have a strong lineup.

Atlanta, the No. 1 East League leader, ranks second in the National League after the Dodgers in team scoring and home runs, led by sluggers like Acuna and Freeman.

Homers such as Jersey, Sanchez and Torres are among the Yankees to win the big league titles, leading the American League.

Ryu Hyun-jin made a full victory against Atlanta in May, and the Yankees haven't met since 2014.

After these two matches, the schedule will be a bit easier.

There are a lot of difficult teams in the postseason, and there's no burdensome Colorado, so it's very likely that they will continue to play.

Local media's interest in Ryu is increasing.

The major league homepage pointed out that Ryu Hyun-jin would achieve one of the lowest average ERAs since 1969, when the height of the mound fell.
