Kings ofthe Hill

Chang MoKoo (L), NCD – $9,600 DK / $30 FD

While the best pitcher in the 2020 KBO season draws a tough matchup versus Kiwoon, he’s an elite target, nonetheless. Chang Mo Koo comes into his 7th start with a 5-0 record, 0.66 ERA, 2.11 FIP, 0.71 WHIP, and a league-leading 29.7% strikeout rate. Koo seems to be on a dominant run that will eventually see him come down to Earth, but for now, I’ll keep riding the hot streak. I’m hoping his matchup draws his ownership a tad lower than it should be given the next target’s matchup, but Koo is by far my top target. Last time he played KIW, he threw 109 pitches in 7 innings, giving up 1 earned run on 3 hits while striking out 7 for 27.6 DK points.

Drew Gagnon(R), KIA – $7,400 DK / $27 FD

His body of work thus far in the KBO continues to be disrespected by DraftKings’ pricing grid and we’ll continue to take advantage of that here today. Drew Gagnon is 2-3 on the season with a 3.48 ERA, 2.49 FIP, 1.07 WHIP, and a 29.1% strikeout rate that is good for 2nd in the KBO behind Chang Mo Koo. He has a great matchup versus SK tonight and should have no issue getting us 12+ points for his price tag, but with a ceiling of 35 DK points if he tops 8-10 strikeouts, Gagnon is my go-to guy for the SP2 position on DK and allows for some salary relief after slotting in Koo.

GPP Options:Tyler Wilson (R), LG

DoosanBears

Arguably themost potent offense in the KBO with the best matchup on the slate? Yes, please.Doosan comes in to face a miserable Hanwha team who are giving Chad Bell the challengeof attempting to tame the Bears offense. After missing the beginning of theseason with an elbow injury, Bell is now 0-1 in 3 starts with an ERA of 9.00,8.59 FIP, 2.09 WHIP, and 2.45 HR/9. Yikes. Doosan chalk night is back, folks.Don’t miss out.

Topoptions: Jose Fernandez (1B/2B), Jae Il Oh (1B), Jae Hwan Kim (OF/1B), Kun WooPark (OF), Jae Ho Kim (SS)

GPP Pivot:Joo Hwan Choi (1B/2B)

KT Wiz

As of now, it looks like the Samsung Lions will be throwing out 19-year-old rookie Seung Min Lee on the mound to face the KT Wiz, but nothing is confirmed just yet. Should it stay this way, I like taking my chances on the Wiz offense versus a Futures League starter who had little to no data to be found other than pitching 13 innings in the Futures League and giving up 2 runs. Can he come in and blow the slate wide open? Sure, I guess it’s possible, but I think it’s unlikely. Baek Ho Kang is back for the KT Wiz and has kind of been an afterthought having missed a significant period of time with a wrist injury, but let’s remind you just how good he is: he’s batting .333 with 6 homeruns and 15 RBIs, has an OPS of 1.135, and leads the KBO in ISO (.394) out of all qualified batters. Slotting back into his spot in the order batting 3rd, the Wiz will be one of my top targets moving forward, should they stay healthy. With typical leadoff hitter Woo Jun Sim moving to 9th in the order, a wrap-around stack is something that is very intriguing on DK.

TopOptions: Baek Ho Kang (1B/OF), Mel Rojas Jr. (OF), Jeong Dae Bae (OF), Yong HoJo (OF), Woo Jun Sim (SS)
