Kings ofthe Hill
Chang MoKoo (L), NCD – $9,400 DK / $26 FD
After havinghis start rained out yesterday, Chang Mo Koo is back on today’s KBO slate. Here’swhat I wrote up for his matchup versus KIA yesterday:
Koo is far and away thebest target on the KBO slate, both pitchers and batters included. Through 7starts, the NCD southpaw is 5-0, posting a 0.75 ERA, 2.36 FIP, 0.69 WHIP, and awhopping 30.1% strikeout rate. We’ve seen multiple pitchers surpass the 10Kprice tag on DK and how Koo is only $9,400 is truly mind-blowing. He could be100% owned and I’d still lock him into ALL of my lineups, without anyhesitation whatsoever.
Tonight, we get him $4 cheaper on FanDuel and at the same price tag on DK, but he also gets a matchup versus Hanwha instead of KIA. Yes, if I would’ve played him in all of my KBO lineups yesterday, you can only imagine what my exposure will look like today (hint: 100%). Lock on both sites.
Drew Gagnon(R), KIA – $7,800 DK / $26 FD
I wanted to avoid Gagnon on yesterday’s KBO slate given that he was starting versus a potent NC Dinos lineup, but with the game being rained out, he now finds himself in the SP2 slot of Kings of the Hill. Gagnon is 3-3 on the season thus far to go along with a 3.57 ERA, 2.54 FIP, 1.07 WHIP, and a stellar 27.4% strikeout rate. He gets a much friendlier matchup versus Samsung here tonight and could see 7+ strikeouts en route to a 20+ DK points performance.
GPP Options:Ja SeongBae (R), KT, Seung Won Moon (R), SK

LG Twins
It’s now been 5 days in a row that the LG Twins find themselves in The Batter’s Box and no, it’s not because I like repeating myself or because I don’t feel like changing teams. In the past 4 days that they’ve been featured here, LG has scored 35 runs on 53 hits. Now, they even have their best slugger in Roberto Ramos back healthy and slotted in the cleanup spot. Facing Young Ha Lee of the Doosan Bears, the Twins could be in for a big night; Lee is sporting a 1-3 record with a 5.22 ERA, 4.41 FIP, and 12.2% walk rate. This one could get ugly.
Topoptions: Roberto Ramos (1B), Hyun Soo Kim (OF), Eun Sung Chae (OF), Chun WoongLee (OF), Kang Nam Yoo (C), Ji Hwan Oh (SS)
NC Dinos
After having a day off yesterday because of the rainout versus KIA, NC should be rested and ready to explode at their home park. NCD carries decent to heavy ownership levels on every KBO slate, even in the toughest of matchups. However, tonight they see Bum Soo Kim of the Hanwha Eagles on the mound in what should be a bullpen game for the Eagles. On the season, Kim has come out of the bullpen 16 times thus far, pitching 18.2 innings with a 1-3 record, 4.34 ERA, 6.55 FIP, and 1.45 HR/9. With 4 of the 5 names listed below having a favorable righty versus lefty split and one of the best hitters in the KBO in Sung Bum Na, yeah, I’ll have a ton of NCD tonight.
Top Options:Sung Bum Na (OF), Eui Ji Yang (C), Jin Sung Kang (1B/OF), Aaron Altherr (OF),Suk Min Park (3B)
HonorableMention: Doosan Bears
