Hitters |
Pos | Player | Team | Opp. Pitcher | DK Sal. |
C | Eui Ji Yang | NCD | M. Kim (R) | $5,100 |
After getting a breather on Friday, expect Yang to be back in the Dinos lineup on Saturday. He was the league’s best hitter last year and is hitting a cool .304 this year with a .900 OPS. Min Kim has never had much success in the KBO so this start he’s gotten off to is interesting. Kim has a control problem and we could see Yang reach base four or five times in this one. |
C | Dong Won Park | KIW | Bullpen Game | $4,300 |
I play Park each and every night he’s in the lineup and why would I stop now? He went yard for the fourth time this season on Friday and has three homers in his last five games and three multi-hit contests over his last four. His average has skyrocketed to .340 while his OPS has surpassed 1.000. It’s a bullpen day for LOT and trusting KBO bullpens is like trusting your rescue puppy not to poop in the house when you first bring him/her home. |
1B/2B | Keon Chang Seo | KIW | Bullpen Game | $3,600 |
Seo has been a fantastic fantasy producer notching 10+ FP in four straight and in 7-of-8. He’s still underpriced at 3.6K and has multi-position eligibility to throw the cherry on top. We’ve seen Seo already swipe two bags in one game so he has that in his back pocket as well. |
1B | Roberto Ramos | LG | M. Kim (R) | $3,400 |
Ramos has a fantastic match-up against the split and he’s crushed right-handed pitching this far hitting .345 with three bombs already. He has six homers, which is tied for the lead league. Min Kim gave up 16 bombs last year and has given up at least one in both starts this year. Ramos is poised to blast number seven Saturday. |
1B/2B | Jose Fernandez | DOO | D. Kim (R) | $6,400 |
If Fernandez can put up 30-point DK performances, the 6.4K price tag is worth it. Can anybody put it past him for it to happen? The guy is coming off a three-hit six-RBI performance on Friday and that helped him raise his slash to .476/.514/.730. This is likely a Samsung bullpen day and the total has risen all the way up to 11.5. Doosan is going to put up a LOT of runs here. |
2B | Kyoung Soo Park | KTW | W. Cha (L) | $3,500 |
Park has a modest four-game hitting streak going but three of been multi-hit outings and he’s driven in six runs over that time. He has a .972 OPS this year and that shouldn’t come as a surprise considering he’s been an extra-base hit machine over the last five seasons. |
3B | Suk Min Park | LG | M. Kim (R) | $4,300 |
Park is flashing a ton of power this year belting four bombs and posting a 1.015 OPS through 15 games. Park hits fourth on the league’s best team and is in a prime run-producing spot on a nightly basis. He has hit 14+ HR, 14+ 2B, 50+ RBI in every season since 2008. Deploy him with confidence. |
3B/SS | Chan Ho Park | KIA | T. Kim (L) | $4,500 |
Park extended his hitting streak to seven games on Friday and also chipped in with a stolen base, he’s second in the last four games. Park doesn’t have a ton of power, but he lives in the gaps and can swipe a bag, notching three thus far. During his hitting streak he’s put up 7+ DK points in each game, which is perfect for his price tag. |
SS | Jae Ho Kim | DOO | D. Kim (R) | $2,800 |
Talk about a bargain, Kim is slashing .400/.468/.473 and doing it all at the dish. He’s riding a 14-game hitting streak and seven of those have been two-plus hits. He has a little pop and a little speed he can contribute in spots and this is one of them. |
Pos | Player | Team | Opp. Pitcher | DK Sal. |
SS | Woo Jun Sim | KTW | W. Cha (L) | $2,800 |
Talk about fast. Sim has already stolen six bases this year and three have come in the last three games. It doesn’t hurt to have a .313 AVG and .360 OBP when you’re a speed guy. |
OF | Mel Rojas Jr. | KTW | W. Cha (L) | $6,000 |
The switch-hitting Rojas is on a tear to start the 2020 season hitting .452 thus far, but he’s done an even better number against southpaws posting a .571 clip. Rojas has two or more hits in eight-of-10 games and is hitting everything thrown his way. Elite spend up. |
OF | Hyun Soo Kim | LG | M. Kim (R) | $5,200 |
We haven’t seen the power yet, but we know it’s there for Kim. He’s such a good hitter overall, which he’s shown with his .355 average and .942 OPS. He has nine extra-base hits, 13 R and 10 RBI thus far. He has the split advantage and is up against a guy with a career 5.18 ERA and 1.63 WHIP. |
OF | Chun Woong Lee | LG | M. Kim (R) | $3,400 |
The LG leadoff man just hits, man. He’s been over .300 the last two seasons and is sitting at .310 once again this year. He not only hits, but he simply gets on base a ton, sitting at a .375 OBP. That OBP allows him to run as he has four stolen bases already this season, a year after swiping 21 bags. He fits an LG stack so well. |
OF | Kun Woo Park | DOO | D. Kim (R) | $4,100 |
It has not been a good start for Park and that’s undeniable, but this is a spot and match-up that can get him going. When your team is a -220 favorite in an 11.5 O/U, you must take note. Park last hit below .300 in 2014 (47 game sample) and the last time his OPS was below .845 was that same season. He has stolen base upside to boot. This is a breakout in the making. |
OF | Sung Bum Na | NCD | M. Kim (R) | $4,800 |
Na has been extremely unlucky this year, yet has four bombs and a .795 OPS. The 27% K-rate is concerning, but Na is too good and has too much pop to continue to struggle at the dish. Expect big things in this match-up. |
