KBO Matchups
KTW @ LG
HAN @ NCD
KIA @ SK
DOO @ SAM
KIW @ LOT
Kings of the KBO Hill
Eric Jokisch (L), KIW
The KIW southpaw import is surprisingly coming in atlower ownership than expected at the time of writing and makes for an eliteplay on today’s KBO slate. Jokisch comes in with a 2-0 record, 0.53 ERA, 0.71WHIP and 14 Ks across 17 innings of work. The statistics are stellar, as is thematchup; aside from last game, LOT’s bats have seemed to have cooled off andhave struck out 106 times on the season, good for 6th-most in the KBO.
Drew Rucinski (R), NCD
Another elite KBO arm at the top end of the pricing range, Rucinski faces a Hanwha squad that cannot seem to muster any offence, ranking 8th in slugging percentage (.365) and OBP (.323). With his powerful offence behind him, Rucinski will be a lock for a win and with his high pitch counts 3 games into the KBO season, a strong candidate for a QS and some Ks.
GPP options: Aaron Brooks (R), KIA and Raul Alcantara (R), DOO
KBO Batter’s Box
KIW
LOT is putting In Bok Lee on the mound to start the game as an opener in what should be a bullpen game for the Giants. Bullpens are terrible in the KBO, and the KIW offence has come alive lately, scoring 39 runs in their last 5 games. If Byung-Ho Park can get back to his power hitting ways, KIW can easily be the top scoring stack tonight. Look for an injury update on Ha Seong Kim (SS) who is nursing an ankle injury, but travelled with the team and is expected back in the lineup either tonight or tomorrow.
Top options: Byung-Ho Park (1B), Keon Chang Seo (1B/2B), JungHoo Lee (OF), Dong Won Park (C), Ha Seong Kim (SS)
DOO
We nailed this call yesterday with DOO lighting up Samsung for 12 runs behind Jose Fernandez and his 6 RBIs. They’re in another great spot tonight versus Samsung, who is putting Dae Woo Kim on the mound to open up an expected bullpen game. With Jae-Il Oh still sidelined, their stack is relatively affordable on DK aside from Jose Fernandez and Jae Hwan Kim.
Top options: anyone from this lineup is playable, from1-9
LG
Another KBO slate, another day where Roberto Ramos and Eun Sung Chae are priced ridiculously low. With Min Kim on the mound for KTW, who has struggled with the deep ball, both Roberto Ramos and Hyun Soo Kim get their favorited lefty vs righty split and could go yard. Lock and load.
Top Options: Roberto Ramos (1B), Hyun Soo Kim (OF),Eun Sung Chae (OF), Min Sung Kim (3B), Chun Woong Lee (OF)
Honorable Mention: NCD
