Kings of the KBO Hill

Raul Alcantara (R), DOO – $9,500 DK / $20 FD

Even with Eric Jokisch on the KBO slate tonight, my top pitcher is Raul Alcantara. While I can make the argument simply because of his matchup versus SK as opposed to Jokisch’s against NC, Alcantara has been rather impressive in his own right this past month. He’s tied for first in the KBO in wins and is now 8-1 on the season with a 3.14 ERA, 3.65 FIP, 1.10 WHIP, and a 21.9% strikeout rate. His command on the mound has been exceptional, posting a 3.8% walk rate, and has flirted with 100+ pitches in every game. Yes, he’s not in the lovely 8k range on DK anymore, but even at $9,500, he’s an elite play – and seriously FanDuel? $20 and the lowest-priced pitcher? Yesterday was Straily, and now Alcantara, are you kidding me? Lock him in over on FD, and check Discord for some ownership updates on him versus the Kiwoon southpaw.

Tyler Wilson (R), LG – $7,000 DK / $25 FD

After starting off the 2020 KBO season with three dominating starts in his first four – the outlier being his debut versus NCD after being in quarantine for 14 days – Wilson has cooled off exponentially in the past month – like, Mr. Freeze’s level of cool off. He’s now 3-5 on the season with a 4.48 ERA, 4.23 FIP, 1.38 WHIP, and a 16.1% strikeout rate. Yes, those numbers certainly don’t jump off the page, and with Wilson averaging just over 6 DK PPG in his last three starts, I’m hoping his ownership will be low albeit the cheap price tag. He’s certainly due for some positive regression, and tonight’s matchup versus LOT may be just what he needs to get back on track. He was a dominant pitcher in the KBO last season and has shown flashes of that old self this year, and I’ll take a shot on him in tournaments if the ownership stays low enough, but if it creeps up to a number I’m not comfortable with anymore, I’ll likely turn to an option listed below.
