Kings of the KBO Hill
Drew Rucinski (R), NCD – $9,400 DK / $29 FD
Tonight’s KBO slate is loaded with top options at various pricing points, but it begins at the very top with Drew Rucinski. Despite being in the shadow of teammate Chang Mo Koo and his spectacular campaign thus far, Rucinski has been quite dominant himself and is now 7-1 with a 2.30 ERA, 3.84 FIP, 1.11 WHIP, and a 22.7% strikeout rate. On a slate that has plenty of strikeout upside with multiple options on the mound, Rucinski’s floor is like no other – he has averaged 21.1 FPPG on the season and has hit double digits in 10 of 11 starts, while also going 6 or more innings in 10 of 11 starts, but he also offers enough upside to warrant conversation in tournament play. We’ll have to keep an eye on ownership closer to lock, but Rucinski’s going to have to bring it versus a loaded LG offense in what could be a pitcher’s duel, and I think he does just that.
Chris Flexen (R), DOO – $8,400 DK / $25 FD
While he did blow up the KBO slate in his last startat heavy ownership versus Hanwha, Flexen gets another soft matchup tonightversus Lotte and could bounce back in a big way. Even after last week’sdisaster, Flexen sits at 3-3 with a 4.18 ERA, 3.55 FIP, 1.36 WHIP, and a 21.3%strikeout rate. Rarely do you see a player with an 8k price tag be a source of “value”,but Flexen can definitely be the best pitcher on the KBO slate from a Points/$perspective.
