  • SK @ DOO

Kings of the KBO Hill

Chris Flexen (R), DOO – $8,900 DK / $20 FD

While Drew Rucinski warrants consideration as an elite play on tonight’s KBO slate, I much rather save the $800 on DK to upgrade my batters and have the pitcher with similar skill level in a better matchup. Not only does Flexen carry a safe floor for your cash game lineups, he offers more than enough upside for tournament play as well. He now sits at 4-3 on the season with a 3.86 ERA, 3.38 FIP, 1.27 WHIP, and a 21.5% strikeout rate. His command on the mound could be better, as seen by his 7.5% walk rate, which hurts him on DK a tad, but Flexen’s upside here is undeniable, especially on FD where he’s priced at the minimum $20.  

William Cuevas (R), KT – $7,900 DK / $24 FD

While William Cuevas may not have the same skillset as other pitchers on a surprisingly deep KBO slate, he gets a huge bump because of his matchup versus Hanwha. Cuevas now sits at a respectable 4-2 with a 4.67 ERA, 4.48 FIP, 1.26 WHIP, and a 17.8% strikeout rate. While pitchers such as Rucinski, Flexen, Yang, and Jung may boast superior arsenals to the KT pitcher, his point/$ upside in this spot is tremendous; last time he pitched versus Hanwha, he threw 102 pitches across 6 innings, allowing 2 runs on 5 hits while striking out 4. Considering pitchers versus the Eagles typically garner high ownership, this is something worth monitoring leading up to lock, but with arms like Rucinski, Flexen, Yang, and Jung all ahead of him, Cuevas may come in lower owned than he should be – he gives us the salary relief we need to pay up for premium batters and similar upside to the pitchers mentioned.
