Kings of the Hill

Ki Young Im (L), KIA – $7,300

Tonight is not the prettiest of pitcher options we have had on a KBO slate, but Ki Young Im might just be the guy in that 7k range to get us there. In 4 starts this season, Im is 1-3 and has been extremely volatile. However, his statistics are not as bad as they may seem to be on the surface; he’s had some poor luck with little run support and disastrous defense; he allowed 5 runs against Doosan but only 1 was earned. Sporting a 22.4% strikeout rate, 0 homeruns allowed, 3.68 ERA and 2.65 FIP, Im is a great target against the Lotte Giants whom he went for 25 DK points against last time out, pitching 8 innings while striking out 4 and only allowing a single run.

Hyun Hee Han (R), KIW – $7,900

The ownership will likely flock toward Jae Hak Lee of the NC Dinos on tonight’s KBO slate and he is a good cash game target, but I wanted to write up Hyun Hee Han of the Kiwoon Heroes to show what kind of upside he potentially has. Han has been wildly inconsistent in his 4 starts this KBO season, but that is exactly what we need to keep his ownership down. Tonight, he faces a Hanwha lineup that has little to no threat outside of Sung Yeol Lee and could be in for a good night. Han is a pitcher that throws for contact, which is why he is sporting a 15.6% strikeout percentage on the season, but also limits power, as seen by his 0.89 HR/9. When he played Hanwha earlier this year, he went 6 strong innings, throwing 100 pitches, allowing 3 earned runs and striking out 4; good for 13.5 DK points. While that isn’t outstanding, it may be the edge we need tonight with few viable options and ownership flocking to Jae Hak Lee and Odrisamer Despaigne.

DK GPP options: Min Ho Lee (R), LG – $5,000

DK Cash option: Jae Hak Lee (R), NCD – $8,700

The Batter’s Box

NC Dinos (NCD)

The best offense in the KBO finds itself as the top stack tonight, to no surprise. While Seung Won Moon has been fairly decent with a 18.6% strikeout rate and 3.1% walk rate, tonight, I think NCD can get to him early and exploit a pitcher that has a WHIP near 2, coming in a 1.65. If NCD can open the floodgates early on, they’ll explode in the later innings, going up against the worst bullpen in the KBO. A small bonus, Jin Sung Kang is finally (!!) a 1B on DK and you can now fully stack their lineup.

Top options: Sun Bum Na (OF), Eui-Ji Yang (C), Min Woo Park (2B), Suk Min Park (3B), Jin Sung Kang (1B/OF)

KT Wiz (KTW)

Without Baek Ho Kang in the lineup, KT was wildlyexpected to flop on offense. Oh, on the contrary, my KBO friends. KT has beenred hot being led by the top of their order and find themselves in another greatmatchup versus Hui Kwan Yu of the Doosan Bears, who cannot strikeout someonefor the life of him (9.9% on the season). In his first matchup against the Wiz,Yu got lit up for 10 hits and 5 earned runs in only 4 innings on 97 pitches.

Top Options: Mel Rojas JR. (OF), Jeong Dae Bae (OF),Woo Jun Sim (SS), Yong Ho Jo (OF), Sung Woo Jang (C)

Honorable Mentions: Kiwoon Heroes and KIA Tigers
