| Hitters |
| Pos | Player | Team | Opp. Pitcher | DK Sal. |
| C | Kang Nam Yoo | LG | S. Park (R) | $3,900 |
| Even though Park has been better against right-handed batters, they’ve hit three bombs against him. Yoo has four homers this year and two over his last 10 games. Over those aforementioned 10 games he has slashed .387/.441/.677. |
| C | Eui Ji Yang | NCD | H. Han (R) | $6,000 |
| An 0-for-5 the night before does not deter me from rostering Yang the following night. He’s the best hitter in the league from a year ago and even in a ‘down year’ Yang has still notched a .303 AVG and .958 OPS. |
| 1B | Jae Il Oh | DOO | S. Han (R) | $3,900 |
| It’s only a matter of time before Oh’s price tag spikes considering how good he’s been at the dish. He’s averaged 11.2 DK points over his last 10 games thanks to a 1.126 OPS over that span. He has the split advantage, he gets a rookie and this games 11.5 O/U is the clear cut number one option we have tonight. |
| 1B | Min Sang Yoo | KIA | S. Moon (R) | $3,500 |
| It was another big game for Yoo on Friday as he homered and drove in three runs. That’s significant because over his last 10 games he’s slashed .424/.444/.636 with two bombs and 12 RBI. I like Seung Won Moon but he has allowed LHH to bat .313 this season. |
| 1B/OF | Ja Wook Koo | SAM | O. Despaigne (R) | $4,700 |
| Despaigne is really struggling right now allowing 14 ER over his last two starts and lefties have gotten to him the most. Both HR’s he’s allowed this year have come against LHH and on the flipside, Koo is MASHING RHP batting .459 with both of his homers coming against them. We have a split advantage against a struggling starter. Koo has six multi-hit games over his last 10. It’s a no-brainer if this game plays. |
| 1B/OF | Baek Ho Kang | KTW | D. Buchanan (R) | $6,100 |
| What Buchanan has struggled with this year is left-handed power. Kang is exactly that and more. He homered on Friday and has now belted three over his last 10 games and six in the 17 games he’s been healthy for. This is one of the league’s best young hitters and is in a spot to do damage. |
| Pos | Player | Team | Opp. Pitcher | DK Sal. |
| 1B/2B | Jose Fernandez | DOO | S. Han (R) | $6,200 |
| We should stack Doosan. We shouldn’t even consider anything else, really. Maybe because of some weather concerns, but if this game plays, Fernandez and Doosan are as elite as they come. Fernandez is coming off a two-hit game in which he homered and is batting .406 on the year with six bombs and 31 runs batted in. |
| 1B/2B | Keon Chang Seo | KIW | J. Lee (R) | $3,600 |
| Seo was a favorite of ours for quite a while but he cooled off of late hitting 6-for-28 (.214) over his last 10 games. He’s still batting .295 with an .851 OPS on the year. What’s best about Seo is that he sports a .396 OBP and has seven stolen bases. He also has a little power with four home runs and has the split advantage here. |
| 2B/OF | Min Hyeok Kim | KTW | D. Buchanan (R) | $4,200 |
| Kim has had a weird surge in power considering he had never hit a home run before this season and now has three. He has a ton of speed as he stole 22 bases in only 122 games and ran 32 total times. I like Kim’s multi-position eligibility and he’s another left-handed bat we can deploy against Buchanan. |
| 2B/SS | Hye Sung Kim | KIW | J. Lee (R) | $2,400 |
| We have two games sitting with an 11.5 O/U and this is one. We’ve documented throughout this playbook how much Jae Hak Lee struggles with LHH and Kim has swung a great stick lately hitting .353 over his last 10 games. |
| 2B/3B | Seon Woo Oh | KIA | S. Moon (R) | $2,600 |
| After Hyung Woo Choi left with a back problem on Friday, Oh filled in and went 2-for-3 with a homer, his second straight game with a bomb. It wouldn’t surprise me to see Choi sit out Saturday and Oh fill in his spot. Oh has only played in three games this year but has certainly made his presence felt. Solid value. |
| 3B | Suk Min Park | NCD | H. Han (R) | $4,700 |
| Park hasn’t had the greatest 2020 campaign thus far but he’s hit right-handed pitching well. He’s hitting .291 with three-of-five homers against RHP and Han has allowed .304 to RHH, so this suits Park well. Plus, 3B SUCKS and the Dinos are involved in a game with an 11.5 O/U, tied for the highest of the slate. |
| SS | Jae Ho Kim | DOO | S. Han (R) | $2,600 |
| He’s still too cheap. He’s still free. He’s still raking. He had another two hits on Friday and even chipped in with a stolen base. He’s averaging 7.4 DKP/game this season and he’s only 2.6K in a game his team is favored at -315 in a 11.5 O/U. It’s a no-brainer if the weather holds up. |
| SS | Hak Ju Lee | SAM | O. Despaigne (R) | $3,600 |
| It’s hard to trust a modest four-game hitting streak, I know, but Lee is showing *some* signs of life. He’s homered in two of those games and has a really ideal match-up against a RHP struggling to retire lefties. In 118 games last year Lee had 24 XBH and stole 15 bases, so he is a dual-threat. |
| OF | Mel Rojas Jr. | KTW | D. Buchanan (R) | $5,600 |
| We’re paying the price we would for a value pitcher, but the dude is hitting everything out of the park right now. He’s belted six bombs over his last 10 games while driving in 17 runs over that same span. He’s up to 10 HR on the season and has an OPS of 1.131. David Buchanan struggles vs. LHH power hitters, which plays into Rojas’ hand. |
| OF | Hyun Soo Kim | LG | S. Park (R) | $5,300 |
| We have a pretty good match-up for LG on this slate as Park has had a problem limiting power this year and has allowed a lot of base runners. Kim is an OBP monster reaching base at a .411 clip and Park has a 1.53 WHIP. He’s also allowed a .357 AVG to LHH on the year. |
| OF | Kun Woo Park | DOO | S. Han (R) | $3,600 |
| I loved Park last night and I’m going right back to the well here. He’s on fire and is swinging the stick like we’ve seen in years past. He has three three-hit games over his last four contests and is batting .447 over his last 10 games overall. The price tag will be on the rise in no time, so take play him at a discount while we can. |
| OF | Jung Hoo Lee | KIW | J. Lee (R) | $5,100 |
| Although he didn’t start Friday, he entered the game as a pinch hitter and even played an inning in the outfield, so I suspect Lee will be back in the lineup Saturday. He’s hitting .369 on the year and is facing off against a pitcher for the Dinos allowing lefties to hit over .300 and has served up two home runs this year, both to LHH. Lee has hit 4-of-5 HR vs. RHP. |
| OF | Sung Bum Na | NCD | H. Han (R) | $5,900 |
| This is one of the league’s premier hitters that happens to be one of the league’s best power hitters as well. He’s hit 10 bombs already this year which is good for the second in the KBO. He strikes out a LOT, which is his downfall but he Hyun Hee Han only strikes out 6.3 opponents per nine innings, so Na is in the drivers seat here. |
