Odrisamer Despaigne (R), KTW — $8,300 DK / $23 FD
Despaigne is the best of some ugly options on the mound for tonight’s KBO slate. The only team that roughed him up this season is NCD, but who hasn’t been victim of arguably the best team in the KBO? Other than that, Despaigne’s numbers on the season rank fairly well in the KBO: 1-0, 2.25 ERA, 2.31 FIP, 0.96 WHIP, 0 homeruns allowed, and a 22.1% strikeout rate. Going up against a KIA Tigers team that strikeouts out a ton with their aggressive at bat style, Despaigne can take advantage and rack up some Ks.
Chan Heon Jung (R), LG — $6,500 DK / $27 FD
On a KBO slate with few viable options on the mound, why not take a shot on Jung? A former reliever, Jung is transitioning to a full-time starter role in 2020 and has fared decently well despite his inflated ERA of 5.40, posting an 18.2% strikeout rate. If he can take advantage of a mediocre Hanwha lineup, he can be a great salary saver on DK, although I do find him too expensive on FD.
Cash Game Option: Jae Hak Lee (R), NCD
GPP option: Tae-In Won (R), SAM
The Batter’s Box
DOO
Is there ever a KBO slate where the most potent lineup in the KBO doesn’t have a favorable pitcher matchup? Bolstering a lineup with infinite depth, almost all hitters batting 1 through 9 are viable, but Jose Fernandez and his absurd .480 average lead the way. Yes, Moon has a 24.3% strikeout rate, but he also allows 1.13HR/9 and Doosan can take for a ride, or two, or three…
Top options: Jose Fernandez (1B/2B), Jae Hwan Kim (OF), Joo Hwan Choi (1B/2B), Jae Won Oh (2B),
NCD
The second best offense – or to some, the best offense – in the KBO is a great option on the KBO slate tonight. While it does seem obvious to want to stack DOO and NCD on every other night, tonight is rather interesting since both find themselves against vulnerable pitchers and isn’t just because they typically put up the most runs. Hyun Hee Han of the Kiwoon Heroes is now a full-time starter in 2020 after being in the bullpen all of 2019 and it hasn’t been pretty; he’s posted a 5.63 ERA, 5.01 FIP, and allows 1.13HR/9. NCD can explode tonight.
Top Options: Sung Bum Na (OF), Jin Sung Kang (C), MinWoo Park (2B), Suk Min Park (3B)
Honorable Mention: SK Wolverines (deep GPP)
