CS:GO DFS: Ghost’s Breakdown 06/17/2020

CS:GO Slate Summary: BLAST (10:30am EST)

  • 3 games on DK
  • Best of 3 series

CS:GO SlateOverview

CS:GO Game#1: G2 (-150) vs Ence (+110)

G2 fell just short of a win at DreamHack after losing to BIG in the finals, but played impressively well, nonetheless. In the first game of the CS:GO slate, the finalists at DreamHack take on Ence in what should be a great series. G2 is both the favorite and higher ranked, and Ence has been in much better form than they were a week ago, albeit G2 is not in poor form themselves. G2 bans Overpass at an 85% rate while Ence bans Vertigo 94% of the time, so it’s likely those will be taken out of consideration right away. I expect G2 to then turn to Nuke for their first pick, where they have Ence severely outmatched, but if they choose to go with Dust2 or Mirage, they might be in some trouble given Ence’s success there. I imagine Ence would pick Train and have G2’s number there, so this series will really come down to G2’s first map pick. Both suNny (0.95 K/D) and sergej (0.93 K/D) have been playing terribly for Ence over the past month, but Jamppi (1.02 K/D) has stepped up to support allu ($8,400) nicely. Ultimately, I think G2’s depth is too strong for Ence given how poorly both sergej and suNny have been playing. Both kennyS ($7,800) and huNter- ($8,800) are the clear targets for me, with nexa ($7,000) coming in third, should you want a 3-man stack.

Top Plays: kennyS($7,800), huNter- ($8,800), nexa ($7,000)

CS:GO Game#2: Ninjas in Pyjamas (-225) vs OG (+175)

This secondCS:GO game has some of my favorite tournament plays on the slate, similarly to howthe Complexity vs OG game did yesterday. NIP comes into this one as thefavorite, in better form than their counterparts, and is the overall bettersquad. NIP bans Dust2 at a 97% rate while OG bans Vertigo at a 91% clip, sothose two maps will be out of consideration out of the gate. I can see NIPturning to Overpass while OG will likely select Mirage, whom they beatComplexity on yesterday and looked rather impressive. Ultimately, I’ll sidewith NIP here to win 2-1 with the third map either being Inferno or Train.Because of his price tag, Plopski is my third priority in NIP stack, behind nawwkand twist, who lead the way Overpass over the last month with K/D ratios of1.16 and 1.31, respectively, to go along with 0.74 and 0.8 kills per round.

Top Plays: nawwk($7,800), twist ($6,000), Plopski ($8,600)

CS:GO Game#3: Team Liquid (-200) vs Evil Geniuses (+150)

The battleof the NA teams should be yet another tightly contested affair, with TeamLiquid facing off versus EG. TL looked sloppy in round robin play of DreamHack,only to rally in the playoffs, beating GenG, Cloud9, and 100 Thieves to get tothe finals in an eventual loss versus FURIA. EliGe seems to have found his gamein online play and makes this TL squad all that more dangerous, and makes foran elite target on this CS:GO slate. TL bans Train 100% of the time, while EGbans Overpass at a 41% rate. TL will likely select Dust2 as opposed to their typicalpick in Mirage since they overpower EG on the former every time they face oneanother, while EG will likely counter with Nuke or Vertigo, likely leaving Infernoas the third map to be played on. Given how good EliGe and NAF have beenplaying, despite CeRq’s stellar past month, I’ll side with TL, but if you’replaying EG, it’ll be the Brehze ($8,200) and CeRq ($7,400) show.

Top Plays: EliGE($9,000), NAF ($8,000), Twistzz ($7,200)

KBO DFS: Ghost’s Breakdown 06/17/2020

DFSGhost
written by DFSGhost

KBO Matchups

  • KT @ SK
  • LG @ HAN
  • LOT @ KIW
  • NCD @ KIA
  • SAM @ DOO

Kings ofthe Hill

Chan GyuLim (R), LG – $8,000 DK / $24 FD

The cash play of this KBO slate, Chan Gyu Lim has much more to offer than just a safe floor. He had his start pushed back a day and saw his teammate Chan Heon Jung featured in yesterday’s segment of Kings of the Hill, who performed well; Jung threw 94 pitches and went 6 2/3, allowing 2 runs on 6 hits and put up 19.8 DK points at a mere $6,500 on DK. Today, Lim gets the same matchup versus Hanwha, except has much more to offer on the mound; Lim sports a 22.1% strikeout rate, ranking 8th amongst qualified pitchers, and his command is no joke either; he has a 5.9% walk rate, good to place him 12th in the KBO. With 5 or more strikeouts in 5 of 6 starts, it wouldn’t surprise me to see Lim surpass 20 DK points and needs to be the first player in your cash builds and the majority of your GPP lineups, despite the expected ownership, simply because he might be the highest scoring pitcher on the slate.

ChrisFlexen (R), DOO – $8,600 DK / $23 FD

On a KBO slate that is all about prioritizing the batters, I’ll side with Doosan starter over Mike Wright of the NCD Dinos simply because it allows me to spend $1,700 more in the batter’s box. Flexen has a good matchup versus Samsung, a team that strikes out 6.84 times per game. Flexen is 2-0 on the season, sporting a 2.92 ERA, 3.79 FIP, 1.19 WHIP, 19.9% strikeout rate and 8.6% walk rate. He hasn’t flashed the upside that he is capable of just yet, but there are a few things going for him: first, he hasn’t thrown less than 94 pitches this season. Second, barring any collapse from his bullpen, he’s as close as it gets to a lock for the win and the 4 or 6 points that comes with it, depending on if you’re playing on DK or FD. Thirdly, his matchup versus Samsung places him in the same conversation as Mike Wright, albeit being $1,700 cheaper; while he may not get the same amount of raw points, there shouldn’t be that much of a separation between the two, and $1,700 in saving can be the difference to get to some elite batters in your KBO lineups.

GPP Options:Mike Wright(R), NCD

TheBatter’s Box

LG Twins

They were featured as the second-ranked stack on yesterday’s KBO slate, and while ownership shifted to the Kiwoon Heroes, the LG Twins are who put the WinDaily team on top of the leaderboards. LG put up the largest run total on the slate yesterday with 9 runs, including 5 in the first inning. I’ll continue to pick on Hanwha import Chad Bell until I see that he knows what he’s doing out there on the mound, because right now, all he looks like is being “out there”. Bell has been in no man’s land in 4 starts this season, posting an 0-2 record, 8.80 ERA, 7.94 FIP, 2.02 WHIP, and 2.35 HR/9. He’s yet to make it out of the 4th inning, and I have no reason to believe why that should change tonight.

Topoptions: Hyun Soo Kim (OF), Eun Sung Chae (OF), Chun Woong Lee (OF), Kang NamYoo (C), Ji Hwan Oh (SS)

The Twins aremy favorite stack tonight, and I’ll be splitting exposure between the followingteams:

  • Doosan Bears: Their home/road splits are blatantly obvious indicating struggles at home, but they are always in play; Jose Fernandez (1B/2B), Jae Hwan Kim (OF/1B), Kun Woo Park (OF), Jae Ho Kim (SS), Joo Hwan Choi (1B/2B)
  • SK 3-man stack: Jamie Romak (OF/1B), Jeong Choi (3B/SS), Eui Yoon Jeong (OF)
  • KIW: Ha Seong Kim (SS), Dong Won Park (C), Jung Hoo Lee (OF), Byung Ho Park (1B), Keon Chang Seo (1B/2B), Hye Sung Kim (2B/SS), Byung Woo Jeon (3B/2B)
  • KT 3-man stack: Baek Ho Kang (1B/OF), Mel Rojas Jr. (OF), Jeong Dae Bae (OF)
  • NCD: Can you fully fade the best team in the KBO on any slate? Not sure we can…

Stay tuned in Discord for some updates regarding stack rankings and ownership.

CS:GO DFS: Ghost’s Breakdown 06/16/2020

DFSGhost
written by DFSGhost

CS:GO Slate Summary: BLAST (10:30am EST)

  • 3 games on DK
  • Best of 3 series

CS:GO SlateOverview

CS:GO Game #1: Ninjas in Pyjamas (+125) vs Natus Vincere (-175)

The first series of the CS:GO slate should be an entertaining one, barring NIP comes out to play like they’re capable of. NIP bans Dust2 at a 97% rate and NAVI bans Vertigo at a 93% clip, so it’s likely those two maps will be avoided by both squads. Typically, Overpass is NIP’s map of preference, but the last time these two teams played at DreamHack, they lost 16-8 on it, so it’s possible they turn to Train in the first round. I think NAVI counters by selecting Nuke, where they have their opponent severely outmatched. If this goes to 3 maps, NIP can pull the upset, but I’ll side with the individual talents of s1mple and electronic to get the job done here. If taking a chance on NIP in large field tournaments, nawwk ($7,400) needs to be your go-to guy, and with Plopski ($7,200) hitting shots like he has been, the two make for an interesting duo. REZ ($6,800) could be the x-factor here, should NIP make it to 3 maps and will come in at low ownership.

Top Plays (NAVI stack): s1mple ($10,200), electronic ($7,600)

Value: flamie ($5,800) or Perfecto ($6,000)

CS:GO Game#2: OG (+125) vs Complexity (-175)

This series between OG and Complexity sees some of my favorite targets on the CS:GO slate. OG bans Vertigo at a 91% rate while Complexity bans Overpass at a 54% rate, so we can scratch those two maps off the list. Both teams love to pick Mirage as their first map, but the second one is nearly impossible to predict. Either way, I don’t see Complexity losing this one and I will have a ton of exposure to blameF ($9,400) in particular. Trying to fit both him and s1mple ($10,200) in the same lineup is nearly impossible without both paying down at captain and finding two viable punts, but I’ll have a few lineups with that exact lineup construction and some without s1mple and some without blameF; the latter is a great tournament pivot to a chalky s1mple, albeit that s1mple can be argued to be the best player in the world. In no way am I saying that I prefer the Complexity star, but it is worth a shot in large field tournaments.

Top Plays: blameF ($9,400), k0nfig ($7,400), oBo ($7,200), poizon ($6,800)

CS:GO Game #3:FURIA (-250) vs MiBR (+175)

FURIA iscoming into this series having won at DreamHack in convincing fashion, going5-0 and seem to be in top form. MiBR on the other hand struggled at DreamHack,going 1-2 in the group stage with losses to FURIA and Team Liquid, only to loseto Cloud9 in the first round of the lower bracket.

FURIA bans Dust2 and a 97% rate while MiBR bans Nuke at an 85% clip, so it’s unlikely that we see those two maps here. The issue for MiBR with the way that plays out is that they have their best map removed in the process. FURIA will likely turn to their map of preference, Vertigo, whereas MiBR can turn to Train or Inferno. Either way, I think FURIA cruises here, and the Big 3 of KSCERATO, yuurih, and HEN1 are all elite targets on this CS:GO slate and could draw lower ownership than expected considering everyone will flock to s1mple.

Top Plays: KSCERATO($8,400), HEN1 ($8,000), yuurih ($7,800)

KBO DFS: Ghost’s Breakdown 06/16/2020

DFSGhost
written by DFSGhost

KBO Matchups

  • KT @ SK
  • SAM @ DOO
  • LOT @ KIW
  • NCD @ KIA
  • LG @ HAN

Kings ofthe Hill

EricJokisch (L), KIW – $9,700 DK / $25 FD

Eric Jokisch is once again available for us to lock in our KBO lineups and I recommend doing exactly that. The Kiwoon southpaw has been statistically dominant in the 2020 campaign and is at the top of the leaderboards in almost every pitching category. He’s 5-1 in 7 starts, posting a 1.49 ERA, 2.81 FIP, 0.97 WHIP, and a 20.1% strikeout rate, all while limiting the deep ball (0.21 HR/9) and showing strong command on the mound (4.3% walk rate). He gets a fantasy friendly matchup versus a Lotte Giants lineup that, outside of their 1-4 spots in the order, have very little to offer. He’s a lock on both sites; if you can’t get to him on DK because of his price, that’s understandable, but he needs to be a lock on FD where he is completely mispriced at only $25.

Chan HeonJung (R), LG – $6,500 DK / $28 FD

An excellent salary saver on DK, Chan Heon Jung can take our KBO lineups to the top of the standings on tonight’s KBO slate. At a mere $6,500, he might draw heavy ownership, but rightfully so, not only because of his matchup versus Hanwha, but because he has actually been quite impressive on the mound. Sporting a 2-1 record with a 3.52 ERA, 3.88 FIP, 1.22 WHIP, 27.2% strikeout rate and 6.5% walk rate, Jung is an elite arm for his price. A 27.2% strikeout rate is rare enough as it is in the KBO, but chalk that up with a matchup versus the worst team in the KBO and at only $6,500? Sign me up.

GPP Options:DrewRucisnki (R), NCD

TheBatter’s Box

DoosanBears

The last time I attacked Jung Hyun Baek on the mound with the Kiwoon Heroes, it clearly did not work out; KIW mustered little to no offense and saw Baek go 7 innings, allowing 0 runs on only 2 hits. Do not be fooled, he is not a good pitcher in the KBO and I stand firm by that opinion despite his first good outing on the season. He’s now 1-3 with last week’s win versus Kiwoon, but still rocks a 7.20 ERA and 6.47 FIP, along with a 1.70 WHIP and a 2.70 HR/9. Keep an eye on first baseman Jae Il Oh and if he plays due to some nagging injuries, but if he does not, I’ll be locking in the 5 plays listed below. Once again, no, Baek does not seem legit to me; Doosan gets to him early and often in this one.

Topoptions: Jose Fernandez (1B/2B), Kun Woo Park (OF), Jae Hwan Kim (OF/1B), JooHwan Choi (1B/2B), Jae Ho Kim (SS)

LG Twins

Without Roberto Ramos, the Twins find a way to keep putting up runs left, right, and center. It’s hard to believe that they can maintain this every night and could eventually fall off until they get their star slugger back later this week, but tonight, it’s tough to ignore their matchup versus Hanwha and Min Jae Jang. The Hanwha starter is 1-3 on the season with a 7.59 ERA, 4.65 FIP, 1.83 WHIP, and offers little strikeout threat with a 13.6% rate. He does show strong command on the mound (2.9% walk rate) but won’t be able to keep the Twins off the board for the entire game. With Dong Won Park (KIW) and Eui Ji Yang (NCD) drawing over 50% of the ownership at the catcher position on virtually every KBO slate, and rightfully so, I love turning to Kang Nam Yoo, who is slashing .291/.360/.456 with 4 homeruns and 26 RBIs and could move up in the lineup given the injuries they’re battling.

TopOptions: Hyun Soo Kim (OF), Eun Sung Chae (OF), Chun Woong Lee (OF), Kang NamYoo (C), Ji Hwan Oh (SS)

HonorableMention: KIW Heroes

CS:GO DFS: Ghost’s Breakdown 06/15/2020

DFSGhost
written by DFSGhost

CS:GO Slate Summary: BLAST/LOOT (7:15am EST)

  • 4 games on DK
  • Best of 3 series

CS:GO SlateOverview

CS:GO Game#1: SKADE (+100) vs PACT (-138)

The first series in the BLAST/LOOT slate features two teams that we rarely see on CS:GO slates, SKADE and PACT. Should this series have taken place 3 months ago, it would’ve been a much tighter contest, but with SKADE dropping series left and right in the past month, I’ll take PACT in the “series of unknowns”; PACT has been in better form over the past month and has a better track record in the win/loss column, while SKADE features two new players, Duplicate and Oxygen, in replacement of Rock1nG and rafftu in their starting lineup. SKADE bans Vertigo at a 95% rate while PACT bans Mirage at a 48% clip, so it’s unlikely that we see those two maps in the series. PACT then has SKADE outmatched on all five of the remaining maps and could be an interesting stack given people’s bias to more familiar names listed below.

Top Plays: Goofy($7,000), darko ($7,800), Sobol ($8,600)

CS:GO Game#2: Nemiga (-350) vs Apeks (+250)

The second game of the CS:GO slate features one of my favorite targets, Nemiga. They have been on a tear in the last 3 weeks, climbing their way into the top 30 teams in the world at #27. Nemiga and Apeks both typically ban Train as their first map, but the second ban prediction remains unknown; either way, Nemiga outpaces Apeks on every map and are ridiculously priced on DK, making for great, cheap captain options and another underowned stack I’ll be targeting in my GPP lineups. Specifically, lollipop21k is underappreciated, boasting a 1.24 K/D over the past 3 months and a 1.34 K/D over the past month. He also has an extremely high kill share, sitting at 0.82 kills per round; he’s without a doubt my favorite play on the entire slate when you consider both skill and price.

Top Plays: lollipop21k($7,200), speed4k ($7,200), box ($6,600)

CS:GO Game #3:G2 (-138) vs Team Vitality (+100)

Getting into more familiar territory, G2 faces Team Vitality in the third game of the CS:GO slsate. G2 rolled through DreamHack with a 2-1 record in the round robin stage and followed that up with back to back wins to get to the finals, only to lose to BIG in 4 maps despite starting the series with a 1-0 lead. G2 will likely ban Overpass, which they do at an 85% rate, whereas Vitality will ban Train, which they do at a 100% rate. Of the five maps remaining, they can all really go either way – the last time these two teams played at the Road to Rio, all 3 maps went to 30 games, with Vitality winning 16-14 on Vertigo and G2 winning 16-14 on Nuke and Dust2 to consequently win the series 2-1. In what should be a great series, I definitely want ZywOo in my lineups, but will have a few 2-man G2 stacks just in case.

Top Plays:ZywOo ($9,000)

Top Plays:kennyS ($7,400) or huNter- ($7,400) paired with nexa ($7,400)

CS:GO Game#4: FaZe (-120 PK) vs Ence (-120 PK)

Although Ence seems to be in great form having won 4 in their last 6 and tying the other two series, I’ll side with FaZe to win this one. They’re the more talented team and Ence is just too inconsistent to trust, albeit they do make for an interesting stack in large field GPPs. I’ll mostly be targeting the bigger names here with better value plays from the previous series, most notably Nemiga and PACT. Both teams typically ban Vertigo first but the second ban is where things are unpredictable; I think FaZe will ban Train since it is Ence’s map preference, but FaZe are no slouch no Train either. I think we likely see Mirage and Dust2, with either Nuke or Inferno being left over. I like FaZe to win 2-1 but don’t count Ence out altogether in MME (mass multi-entry).

Top Plays: NiKo(8,800), coldzera ($7,000)

DFSGhost
written by DFSGhost

CS:GO Slate Summary: DreamHack (8am EST)

  • 2 series on DK and FD
  • Best of 5

CS:GO SlateOverview

CS:GO Game#1: G2 (-350) vs BIG (+250)

In the finals of CS:GO DreamHack EU, G2 takes on BIG in a Best of 5 where the former will start the series with a 1-0 lead since they came from the upper side of the bracket. Since 4 maps will be played in this series, we only need to attempt two ban predictions, one from each side, with one map being left over at the end of the ban phase. I see BIG banning Train, which they do at a 74% rate, and G2 will likely ban Overpass, which they have not played on in a month. This leaves Nuke, Inferno, Vertigo, Dust2, and Mirage to be four of the five maps picked from each side. G2 has their opponent outmatched on Nuke, Mirage, and Inferno, while BIG grades out better on both Dust2 and Vertigo. Ultimately, I think G2 comes away with the victory here but do not rule out BIG just yet; they’ve looked to be in great form lately and can easily pull off the upset, but my lean remains G2, with my targets listed below in order of preference. The first two, huNter- and nexa are my top tier targets, with kennyS being the clear third wheel in this one. But given his level of inconsistency, I’m not opposed to going AmaNeK and use the saving to get the studs from the second series; jaCkz is not in my player pool. If playing a one-off from this series, I would prefer syrsoN or tabseN, but lean syrsoN because of his price. Neither k1to or tizian are in my player pool.

Top Plays(G2): huNter- ($8,800), nexa ($7,000), kennyS ($8,000) or AmaNeK ($5,600)

Top Plays(BIG): syrsoN ($7,400), tabseN ($8,200), XANTERES ($6,600)

CS:GO Game #2: FURIA (-225) vs Team Liquid (+175)

The second series is between FURIA and Team Liquid in the finals of CS:GO DreamHack NA. Like the first series, this one will be a Best of 5, with FURIA coming into the series with a 1-0 lead having come from the upper side of the bracket. FURIA is in top form having won 6 series in a row and 7 of their last 8, including beating TL 2-1 in the group stage. FURIA will surely ban Dust2 and I imagine Team Liquid countering by banning Train. This leaves Nuke, Inferno, Vertigo, Overpass, and Mirage to be four of the five maps selected by the two squads. Although TL is a talented team and have EliGe back in top form, I don’t see FURIA losing a Best of 5 here; FURIA grades out better than TL on all five maps in terms of winning percentage in the last month, albeit the percentages are fairly close. Ultimately, I want all three of KSCERATO, HEN1 and yuurih, but similarly to strategy in the section above concerning the first game, arT makes for a decent target as well if you need the saving; he will struggle on Inferno if it gets chosen, but he performs well on the other four maps compared to VINI, who is not in my player pool. Given his price tag on DK, his 1.28 K/D and 0.73 kills per round on all five maps combined over the last month, which he leads the team in all three, HEN1 is a lock for me tomorrow. If you’re choosing a 3-2-1 lineup construction, a one off from this series is in play, with all 3 TL players listed being viable options depending on the salary you can afford, but neither nitr0 nor Stewie2K are in my player pool.

Top Plays (FURIA):HEN1 ($6,800), yuurih ($7,600), KSCERATO ($8,400), arT ($5,800)

Top Plays(TL): EliGe ($8,600), NAF ($7,800), Twistzz ($6,800)

KBO DFS: Ghost’s Breakdown 06/14/2020

DFSGhost
written by DFSGhost

KBO Matchups

  • KIA @ SK
  • KT @ SAM
  • LOT @ LG
  • KIW @ NCD
  • DOO @ HAN

Kings ofthe Hill

Hyun JongYang (L), KIA – $9,900 DK / $25 FD

I’m still afirm believer than Hyun Jong Yang is one of the best pitchers in the KBO and I’llbe going back to him tonight despite the elevated price tag on DK; on FD, Yangis my favorite pitcher at only $25. The KIA southpaw comes into tonight’s startwith a 5-2 record, 3.89 ERA, 4.18 FIP, 1.27 WHIP, 16.7% strikeout rate and 7.0%walk rate. His strikeout rate has dropped since posting a 22.3% clip in 2019,but the talent is still there, as seen in a game versus Doosan where he struckout 7. We saw what his teammate Ki Young Im, who was featured in yesterday’sarticle, did versus the same SK team: 6IP, 0 earned runs on 3 hits and 6strikeouts, good for 27.1 DK points. While I did say Im is one of the best keptsecrets in this KBO campaign, Yang has a superior skillset and is set up to dominate.

Casey Kelly(R), LG – $9,200 DK / $27 FD

Another KBO slate where Casey Kelly’s price has increased, another KBO slate where I love the matchup. Kelly is sitting at 2-1 on the season with an inflated 5.06 ERA but has been unlucky as seen through his 3.80 FIP, to go along with a 1.38 WHIP 19.6% strikeout rate. Is he worthy of only being $400 lower than Chang Mo Koo was on the other day? Absolutely not. Does his matchup versus Lotte give him a significant bump enough to warrant the price tag? You better believe it. While ownership will likely flock to Yang and a cheaper arm to jam in some heavy hitters, I love a GPP strategy of loading up with the two best pitchers on the slate and finding some value in the batter’s box.

GPP Options:Hyeong Jun So(R), KT

TheBatter’s Box

KiwoonHeroes

This KBO slate still has some updates to be had; DOO vs HAN has since been removed from the DK slate, while the second game is part of the FD main slate. We’re also still waiting on starting pitchers for both sides of this KIW @ NCD game. Originally, NCD had reliever Jin Ho Kim slated to start and that sounds as if it’s likely to be a bullpen game for the Dinos. After they pitched 7 1/3 of the game yesterday en route to Kiwoon pouring in 15 runs, the Dinos bullpen will be depleted and sets up the Heroes for a repeat performance. By switching power hitters Byung Ho Park and Ha Seong Kim in the order, where the former is now batting 2nd and the latter batting cleanup, the Heroes seem to have rejuvenated their offense.

Topoptions: Byung Ho Park (1B), Ha Seong Kim (SS), Jung Hoo Lee (OF), Dong WonPark (C), Keong Chang Seo (2B/1B)

Complementary Options: Hye Sung Kim (2B/SS), Byung Woo Jean (2B/3B)

NC Dinos

The Kiwoon Heroes, just like the NC Dinos, do not have a projected pitcher listed but had Young Gun Jo slated to start before it was later removed. Should it be the rookie taking the mound or a bullpen game for the Heroes, expect NC to exploit either one; the Dinos rested key players yesterday in Eui Ji Yang, Jin Sung Kang, and Jin Hyuk No only to later remove Aaron Altherr and Myung Gi Lee mid-game when things got out of hand in the 4th. They’ll be rested, at their home park, and will seek out revenge for yesterday’s onslaught. Keep an eye on veteran Chang Min Mo who made his return to the lineup yesterday and went 2/5 with an RBI.

TopOptions: Sung Bum Na (OF), Eui Ji Yang (C), Aaron Altherr (OF), Jin Sung Kang(OF/1B), Jin Hyuk No (2B/SS)

ComplementaryOptions: Suk Min Park (3B), Myung Gi Lee (OF), Min Woo Park (2B), Chang Min Mo(1B/3B)

CS:GO Game#1: FaZe (-188) vs BIG (+137)

With only a two-game CS:GO slate on tap on DraftKings, we’re going to have to find a way to get different with our lineup construction and this first game is a perfect spot to do so. The last time these two squads faced off just four days ago, BIG took down FaZe 2-0 and took advantage of FaZe’s mistake during the ban phase. If I had to guess how it would play out, I see BIG banning Train, which they do at an 83% rate, and FaZe countering by banning Vertigo, which they do at a 74% clip. BIG will likely choose Nuke or Overpass, where they have FaZe’s number, and FaZe will counter by either picking Inferno or Mirage. Last time they played, FaZe ended up picking the former and lost 16-5, so it wouldn’t surprise me to see them turn to Mirage this time out, not only for that reason, but because only broky (1.12) has a K/D over 1.00 on Inferno in the last month. I think BIG then bans whichever FaZe does not choose while FaZe will ban whichever BIG does not choose, leaving Dust2 as the map leftover. Ultimately, if FaZe chooses to take their chance on Inferno again, I’ll take BIG as the underdog here, but should the favorite learn from their previous mistake during the ban phase, this one will likely go 3 maps but I still like BIG’s upside.

Top Plays: syrsoN($7,400), tabseN ($8,400), XANTERES ($6,600)

Top Plays:NiKo ($8,800), broky ($7,000)

CS:GO Game#2: Cloud9 (+175) vs Team Liquid (-225)

The bookmakers have this one listed as an easy Team Liquid victory, but I disagree. As always, the ban phase will likely dictate the winner here; C9 bans Mirage at an 83% rate and this shouldn’t change given that it’s Team Liquid’s map of choice, while TL bans Train at a 100% clip. C9 will surely choose Overpass and cruise to victory there, where TL will likely select Inferno, Dust2, or Nuke. The issue with that is C9 actually matches up well on those maps, so this series will likely come down to C9 being able to close out a series, which, knowing them, they’ll somehow find a way to lose, but they looked great versus MiBR so I’ll definitely have my shares in almost half of my CS:GO lineups.

KBO DFS: Ghost’s Breakdown 06/13/2020

KBO Matchups

  • KIA @ SK
  • KT @ SAM
  • LOT @ LG
  • DOO @ HAN
  • KIW @ NCD

Kings ofthe Hill

Woo ChanCha (L), LG – $8,700 DK / $26 FD

Am I crazy for starting my KBO lineups with the inconsistent Woo Chan Cha? Maybe, but I’m inclined to think he looks like the pitcher we saw in four of six starts in tonight’s game compared to the one we saw versus KT and KIW just a few weeks ago. Cha is currently 4-2 on the season with a 3.97 ERA, 4.73 FIP, 1.44 WHIP, 20.8% strikeout rate, 8.1% walk rate. Yes, in his third and fourth starts he looked terrible on the mound, giving up a combined 9 runs on 16 hits in 9 innings of work versus KT and KIW, but those are some of the best offenses in the KBO with predominately right-handed power bats. Tonight, he faces a Lotte Giants squad that seems to be rejuvenated, but I’m not buying it. They still have one of the worst lineups in the KBO and with ownership projecting to be fairly spread out at the time of writing, I like the upside that Cha has in tournaments.

Ki Young Im(R), KIA – $7,600 DK / $25 FD

While thisis likely the first season that the majority of us follow the KBO, Ki Young Imhas to be one of its best kept secrets 34 games into the season. He’s quietlygone about his business en route to a 2-3 record, 3.34 ERA, 3.40 FIP, 20.9%strikeout rate and 3% walk rate. His command is exceptional; he has the bestwalk rate out of all qualified pitchers in the KBO and gives us enoughstrikeout upside to target in tournaments. He hasn’t scored less than 9 DKpoints yet this season and topped off at 25 versus LOT. Do I think he’ll score25 again tonight? It’s unlikely, but for someone that might get overlookedbeing surrounded by more familiar names in Woo Chan Cha, David Buchanan,Odrisamer Despaigne, and Seung Won Moon, I’ll gladly take the salary savings onDK and, in my opinion, the better pitcher of that bunch on tonight’s KBO slate.

GPP Options:Hui Kwan Yu(L), DOO

Punt: Se Woong Park (R), LOT – faces an LG lineup without Roberto Ramos

TheBatter’s Box

DoosanBears

Doosan isin play on every KBO slate given the power and depth of their lineup, but tonightis the night you’ll want at least three of them in your lineups. The Bears areprojected to see Seung Ju Han of the Hanwha Eagles, barring any changes, and Idon’t think the Eagles could set up the 19-year-old rookie any worse for hisKBO debut. Hanwha has lost 18 in a row, they’ve made what seems to be 100 rosterand coaching changes, and still can’t figure it out. Lock and load.

Topoptions: Jose Fernandez (1B/2B), Jae Il Oh (1B), Jae Hwan Kim (OF/1B), Kun WooPark (OF), Jae Ho Kim (SS)

GPP Pivot:Joo Hwan Choi (1B/2B)

NC Dinos

To no one’s surprise, the NC Dinos are yet again one of the top stacks on tonight’s KBO slate; and no, it’s not just because I enjoy writing about them every second day or because I like repeating myself. The Dinos are facing Hyun Hee Han and the Kiwoon Heroes at their home park and they could be in for a big night; Han (no, not Hanwha) has been reeling in his last few starts and got lit up for 5 earned runs on 7 hits in only 4.1 innings the last time he faced NCD… at their home park. While numbers do tell us a lot, baseball connoiseurs know the importance of a pitcher’s confidence level and mental fortitude. If I’m Hyun Hee Han, coming into this start, I have neither, and that spells disastrous outing. The top of the order offers little power in Min Woo Park and Myung Gi Lee, and Suk Min Park is just so expensive for someone that is inconsistent, but he does bat in the middle of the order and gives us a decent option at a thin 3B position on DK. I prioritize the 5 bats listed below, with Suk Min Park, Myung Gi Lee, and Min Woo Park being my next targets, in that respective order.

TopOptions: Sung Bum Na (OF), Eui Ji Yang (C), Jin Sung Kang (1B/OF), AaronAltherr (OF), Jin Hyuk No (2B/SS)

ComplementaryOptions: Suk Min Park (3B), Min Woo Park (2B), Myung Gi Lee (OF)

HonorableMention: KT Wiz

CS:GO Slate Summary: DreamHack EU (8am EST)

  • 3 games on DK and FD
  • Best of 3 series
  • Pricing is referred to DraftKings

CS:GO Slate Overview

CS:GO Game #1: FaZe (+125) vs Natus Vincere (-175)

Well, we saw what NAVI is capable of when electronic and s1mple play the way they did yesterday versus MAD Lions; they simply (pun intended?) looked unbeatable and like the dominant team that got them to the top of the rankings. Both teams ban Vertigo at 93% and 74% rates so one will certainly ban it, but after that it’s pretty tough to see what maps these two squads will play on. Given NAVI’s performance yesterday, it’s tough to fade them, and s1mple’s price makes absolutely no sense on DK.

Top Plays: s1mple ($8,400) electronic ($7,600),Perfecto (6,000) or flamie ($5,200)

CS:GO Game #2: GenG (+225) vs Team Liquid (-300)

This game will be closer than Vegas odds dictate it tobe. TL bans Train at a 100% rate and will eliminate GenG’s top map in the process,while GenG will likely ban Overpass, which they do at a 66% clip. Of the other5 maps, the only one GenG really matches up well on is Mirage, where they’reriding a 5-map winning streak, but it’s also TL’s map of preference. Ultimately,I’ll take TL 2-1 in this series.

Top Plays: EliGe ($9,000), NAF ($8,000), Twistzz($7,200)

GenG stack: BnTeT ($6,600), s0m ($5,800)

CS:GO Game #3: MiBR (-175) vs Cloud9 (+125)

This game could go either way, but with C9’s tendencyto fall off the face of the Earth late in maps, I’ll take the depth of MiBR towin the series. MiBR bans Nuke at an 84% rate while C9 bans Mirage at an 82%clip. Of the 5 maps reminaing, I really like Fallen and kNgV- to crush in this series,while fer’s ceiling is undeniable and is a nice piece to make a full stack. Ifyou’re playing c9, floppy is your main guy, while oSee makes for a GPP play.

Top Plays: Fallen ($8,600), kNgV- ($7,000), fer($7,600)

One-Off: floppy ($8,200)
