We made it through another month without Major League Baseball. I say this every day, but man I miss it. That said, KBO is doing just fine for my bankroll for now but I doubt I’ll stay up all night again watching Sunday games again this week. We have a nice 5 game slate of games that will be played in the afternoon in Korea and very little weather issues.
WEATHER
Mid to upper 70’s, no rain
PITCHING
- Chang Mo Koo ($9,400 – NC Dinos) … The Dino’s “ACE” will look to get them back on the winning track on Sunday against the Lions and they have a distinct advantage in pitching because Chang Mo Koo is doing even better this year as his K% has been up to 30% through his first three starts and he’s holding opposing batters to a low .115 average. Normally on a Sunday I’d kinda lean against going with an ace like this but given the fact that Samsung has won the first two games I don’t see the Dino’s getting swept here.
- Chris Flexen ($8,600 – Doosan Bears) … Flexen gets a chance to bounce back after starting off with 19-21-32 in his first three games he had only 11 back on May 26th. The fact that he is at home and drawing a righty heavy Lotte Giants projected lineup has me penciling him in over the other candidates today.
- Jong Hoon Park ($7,500 – SK Wyverns) … SK is on a roll and this is the best value spot on the slate. The Eagles offense is a league low .319 wOBA coming in with a very low ISO and while normally we don’t need salary relief he is a nice mid range on DK and low price on FanDuel to consider as well.
TEAM STACKS
Projected Chalk: Dinos, Bears, Wiz
LG TWINS
Eight runs on Friday, sixteen runs on Saturday. This is a good hitting park and Drew Gagnon is going to be a bad choice in DFS in my mind today. Load up on the Twinkies led by Hyun Soo Kim, Eun Sung Chae and Roberto Ramos. Given that they’re the road team and to be a little sneaky I would definitely consider a bottom of the order guy or two, so Ji-Hwan Oh and Kang-Nam Style Yooo are the favorable plays.
- Hyun Soo Kim (OF)
- Eun Sung Chae (OF)
- Roberto Ramos (1B)
- Ji-Hwan Oh (SS) – Value
- Kang-Nam Yoo (C) – Value
KT WIZ vs KIWOOM HEROES
In my mind the Wiz/Heroes game has the combined two worst pitchers on the slate. The Heroes continue to get it done even when I go away from them, but we gotta love Byung-Ho Park today as the anchor in their lineup. Meanwhile, Mel Rojas Jr. and Jeong Dae Bae are rolling for the KT Wiz.
- ByungHo Park (1B) – Kiwoom
- Jeong Dae Bae (OF) – Wiz
- Mel Rojas Jr (OF) – Wiz
