Kings of the Hill
Jake Brigham (R), KIW – $8,400 DK / $24 FD
One of the KBO’s aces is about to turn the cornertonight. Posting an 0-1 record, 4.15 ERA and 1.46 WHIP, Brigham’s statisticsearly on don’t exactly jump off the page. What entices me to go back to himtonight is his 20% strikeout rate and amazing matchup versus a slumping LOTteam that couldn’t seem to muster a hit versus a miserable KIA pitcheryesterday. LOT’s batters are frustrated and seem to be swinging at almosteverything, lock Brigham with confidence.
Hyun Jong Yang (L), KIA – $9,000 DK / $27 FD
Arguably the best pitcher in the KBO, Hyun Jong Yang has found his groove in his last two starts. After a miserable opening day outing, which is his notorious for, Yang has back to back wins, quality starts, and an increasing pitch count and strikeouts. He showed his stuff versus Doosan last game, finding the strike zone with ease and taming the lethal Bears lineup. Look for a repeat performance tonight versus SK, whose entire lineup seems to be in a funk.
GPP options: Odrisamer Despaigne (R), KTW and Warwick Saupold (R), HAN
Notes
Much better pitching options on tonight’s KBO slatethan there were yesterday. I’m pretty much locked in with the top two optionslisted here, but Despaigne makes for a great GPP option should his ownership belower than the other two. Look for updates in Discord.
The Batter’s Box
KIA
I have a feeling that this will be one of those “why did I not cash? Oh, because I faded Preston Tucker” KBO slates. SK is due to start Joo Han Kim as an opener in what will be a bullpen game for the home squad. In 0.3IP across 3 games, Kim has allowed 5 hits, 5 ER and 3 walks, posting an ERA of… 45. If the Tigers can get to him early and often, they’ll be able to smash for 9 innings given that SK’s bullpen is one of the worst in the KBO in terms of both walk and home run percentages.
Top options: Preston Tucker (OF), Ji Wan Na (OF), Sun Bin Kim(SS), Chan Ho Park (3B/SS), Hyung Woo Choi (1B/OF)
DOO
Prices still up? Check. One of their star batters outto lower ownership? Check. Juicy matchup? Also, check. I’m loving DOO at lowownership tonight because of how mightily Ben Lively struggles versus lefties: hisstrikeout rate nearly cuts in half when facing lefty/righty splits and seems tolose control more often too. With DOO deploying 6 lefties in their lineup andtwo of the best right-handed contact bats in Jae-Ho Kim and Kun-Woo Park, I’mloving this DOO squad.
Top options: Jose Fernandez (1B/2B), Jae Hwan Kim(1B/OF), Kun-Woo Park (OF), Jae-Ho Kim (SS), Se Hyuk Park (C)
Honorable Mention Stack: KIW Heroes, NC Dinos
