Kings of the KBO Hill
Drew Rucinksi (R), NCD – $10,000 DK / $30 FD
The ace of the KBO slate has arguably the mostpotential from a raw points perspective, in addition to carrying enough upsideto weather the expected ownership percentages at the time of writing. Rucinskihas been the victim of being in teammate Chang Mo Koo’s shadow and his MVPcampaign, but has quietly gone 9-1 in 13 starts this season with a 2.05 ERA,3.77 FIP, 1.08 WHIP, and a 21.7% strikeout rate. Facing a Samsung roster thatis wildly inconsistent and nursing quite a few injuries, NCD’s “other” ace iswell worth every dollar tonight.
Hyun Jong Yang (L), KIA – $8,600 DK / $24 FD
Last season’s KBO sensation has come crashing andburning back down to Earth this year. Let me put this into perspective for you:Hyun Jong Yang was so good in 2019 that he was garnering MLB interest from someof the world’s best teams. However, this season tells a different tale; he’snow 5-5 with a 6.31 ERA compared to last season’s 2.29, to go along with a 1.51WHIP and an increased walk rate. He’s had three of his past five starts resultin negative DK points, but if you’re following the pattern, he should be in fora big night! All jokes aside, the KIA southpaw didn’t suddenly forget how tothrow a baseball and he faces a Hanwha offense that looks like more like a teeball team than it does a professional baseball club, so make sure to take advantageof the soft pricing across both sites.
