Kings of the KBO Hill
Dan Straily (R), LOT – $10,000 DK / $29 FD
Gone are the days of being able to play Dan Straily in the 7k range on a KBO slate. The Lotte ace comes in at a whopping 10k price tag on DK while also being the highest-priced pitcher on FD, but he’ll be worth every dollar. Given the uncertainty surrounding almost, if not all other pitchers on the KBO slate, I’ll eat the Straily chalk and move on. He’s now 1-2 on the season with a 2.53 ERA, 3.11 FIP, 1.06 WHIP, and an impressive 26.2% strikeout rate. Facing the Eagles, Straily will surely be the highest raw point producer on the mound tonight.
Odrisamer Despaigne (R), KT – $8,100 DK / $22 FD
The SP2 slot on DK is where we have different directions available to us; we’ve hit the first two KBO slates of the week with Jong Hun Park (SK) and Shi Hwan Jang (HAN) in this slot, so we’ll look to keep it going here. While Odrisamer Despaigne’s skillset is less than impressive, he warrants consideration because of the lack of strikeout upside the other pitching options carry. He’s now 4-4 on the season with a 4.32 ERA, 4.29 FIP, 1.33 WHIP, and an 18.1% strikeout rate. While a ton of other pitchers on the KBO slate pitch for contact – yes, I’m looking at you, Saupold (HAN), Lee (NCD), and Won (SAM) – investing in Despaigne’s strikeout upside on tonight’s KBO slate could pay off in tournament play.
