Kings of the KBO Hill
Chan Gyu Lim (R), LG – $8,200 DK / $25 FD
The options on the mound are thin, but we can start our KBO lineups with Chan Gyu Lim of the LG Twins with a good level of confidence, who is in a great spot versus Hanwha. Lim is coming off back-to-back shaky starts versus NCD and SAM, respectively, but I’m more inclined to trust his overall numbers on the season here. Lim sits at 4-3 with a 4.47 ERA, 3.88 FIP, 1.34 WHIP, all of which aren’t overly impressive, but his 22.4% strikeout rate versus the worst team in the KBO is too good to pass up. Add in the fact that he isn’t overpriced, Lim will carry heavy ownership on tonight’s KBO slate, but rightfully so.
Aaron Brooks (R), KIA – $9,800 DK / $28 FD
Rarely do we see a pitcher facing Doosan as a top option on any given KBO slate, but Aaron Brooks isn’t like every other pitcher in this league. Sitting at 4-3 on the season with a 2.52 ERA, 2.97 FIP, 1.13 WHIP, and a 21.9% strikeout rate, Brooks has produced 11 or more DK points in every start this season, and has been a model of consistency for KBO DFS, but that won’t be good enough for his lofty price tag. We’ll need him to tame the Bears offense much more effectively than he did in his last start versus them, where he allowed 4 earned runs on 11 hits while striking out 7 despite putting up 11.4 DK points. Ultimately, I’m willing to eat the chalk in KBO cash games where it’s just as important to know who the field will be playing as it is focusing on your own lineup, but take a good, long look at Chae Heung Choi over Brooks in tournaments if the latter’s ownership gets out of control.
GPP Options: Chae HeungChoi (L), SAM, Seung Ho Lee (L), KIW
