Pitchers

SPMin Ho LeeLGR. Pinto (R)$7,100
Lee gets a scuffling Wyverns offense but limits both sides of the plate below .200 over his first 16.1 innings this year. In 11 innings at home, Lee owns a 1.64 ERA with seven strikeouts against two walks. His 1.10 ERA comes with a 3.78 FIP, so some migration to the mean could occur but this game features a run total below 10, a rarity on this slate and Lee's WHIP sits at 0.92 as of this writing.
SPMin Woo LeeKIAM. Kim (R)$8,000
Kia's Lee makes for an intriguing target with a 3-1 record and 3.86 ERA. His FIP actually sits below his ERA at 3.24 and he boasts an impressive 1.10 WHIP with 26 strikeouts compared to 12 walks over 37.1 innings so far. One will be paying for a quality outing and the win here since the strikeout upside may not happen.
SPWon Tae ChoiKIWD. Kim (R)$9,300
Kiwoom's a -195 favorite in Samsung and sends Choi to the mound. He's 2-2 this year with a 3.44 ERA, 3.48 FIP and 1.12 WHIP. He carries an impressive 24:6 K:BB and may be the best bet for the win on this slate.
SPMike WrightNCDY. Lee (R)$10,000
With an inflated price on a night without many options at pitcher, if paying for one Wright makes sense. He's 4-1 with a 2.65 ERA but his 4.89 FIP facing a strong Doosan offense makes him the fourth option here instead of atop it. Wright mitigates hard contact but when he misses his spot, home runs ensue. Wright's 31:16 K:BB in 34 innings comes with a 1.18 WHIP. If he limits traffic on the bases, Wright could do well but there's some risk involved.
SPJun Won SeoLOTM. Jang (R)$6,500
For the GPP crowd, Seo's 2-1 with a 4.28 ERA and gets a struggling Hanwha squad. Seo's 5.97 FIP serves as a warning sign but his team's a -220 favorite. Hope Seo continues to pitch well at home (1-0, 4.08 ERA in 17.2 IP) and keeps the left-handed Eagles off the bases. What hinders Seo, his 14 strikeouts in 33.2 innings meaning he needs to pitch six innings to accumulate points. Seo needs the QS and Win bonuses to pay off.

 

 

Hitters

CSeung Taek HanKIAM. Kim (R)$3,800
If loading up on Kia hitters, why not get their catcher hitting .299/.365/.522 on the season with three of his four home runs versus right-handed pitching. As a sweetener, Kim's allowing right handed hitters to bat .469 against him. Han produced a double dong game last week and could leave the yard again in this match-up and a tired Wiz bullpen.
CDong Won ParkKIWD. Kim (R)$4,700
In a surprising twist, Park's proven to be a reverse splits guy with a .382 average versus RHP this season through 68 at-bats with seven doubles and four home runs against them resulting in 21 RBI. If in the lineup, Park could produce an extra-base hit in a game carrying an 11 run total with Kiwoom heavy favorites (-195).
CEui Ji YangNCDY. Lee (R)$6,000
Yang's on a six game hit streak and homered in two straight. During his steak, Yang's batting .318 with three home runs driving in 12 runs. Coming off a loss, Yang looks to hurt his old teammates in a matchup featured on ESPN Thursday morning. If looking for variation, rostering Yang on this slate will be a low owned proposition.
1BDae Ho LeeLOTM. Jang (R)$3,800
A perfect storm on Thursday. He's hitting .308 against RHP with five doubles and two home runs and 16 RBI this season. He's also batting .375 at home with three of his four home runs. Jang yields a .396 average to right-handed batters like Lee and boasts an ERA of 9.00 on the road. Yahtzee.
1B/OFHyung Woo ChoiKIAM. Kim (R)$5,700
Choi lost his 10-game hit streak on Wednesday but doubling down on a power surge on Thursday. Choi's batting .344/.462/.562 his last 10 contests with two home runs and four RBI in his last five.
1B/OFRoberto RamosLGR. Pinto (R)$4,700
We’re finding out really fast that Ramos isn’t only a power hitter. Just over the last 10 games he’s hit .424, which has helped him boost his season long mark to .375. He also happens to be the league leader in homers so that’s on the table every time he steps into the box. Plus, Ramos owns a .379 average against RHP with nine of his 12 home runs in only 66 at-bats.

1B/2BKeon Chang SeoKIWD. Kim (R)$3,800
Leadoff hitter for the Heroes Seo owns the only 200 hit season in KBO history. He's been rounding back into shape after nursing an elbow injury and provides multiple position eligibility atop the Kiwoom lineup in Samsung where home runs can fly.
2BLo Han KangLOTM. Jang (R)$2,400
To fit the big bats and decent pitchers, a low priced dart or two will be necessary on this slate. Kang's stolen a base in two straight games for the Giants hitting ninth and on a modest four game hit streak. All one needs is a hit, run and stolen base for him to hit three times value on Thursday with Lotte facing a pitcher owning a 7.58 ERA and 1.84 WHIP. Giddy up.
2B/SSJin Hyuk NoNCDY. Lee (R)$3,600
In a much more advantageous match-up for No, he gets a RHP at home. No's hitting .338 versus righties with three home runs and 14 RBI this year. Another player eligible at multiple spots in a powerful lineup.
2B/3BByung Woo JeonKIWD. Kim (R)$2,400
Jeon's hit safely in eight of his last nine games with Kiwoom making him a staple in the lineup. His price tag, average over .300 and 12 RBI make him a worthy target. Especially at third base which can get shallow lately in KBO DFS.
2B/SSDixon MachadoLOTM. Jang (R)$4,000
Machado runs hot and cold but on fire of late. He racked up three hits including a double and a triple on Wednesday. His average versus RHP sits at .316 entering this matchup with five doubles, four home runs and 20 RBI so far this year. If Lotte routs Hanwha, Machado should be a prime part of the action.
SSHa Seong KimKIWD. Kim (R)$6,200
Uber talented Kim's on a 10-game hit streak during which he's slashing .400/.500/.625 with 10 runs and 10 RBI. For the GPP crowd, his teammate Hye Sung Kim could benefit from the splits advantage and hit a cheap home run in this match-up as well.
OFAh Seop SonLOTM. Jang (R)$3,500
Son's hitting .372 versus RHP with four doubles, two home runs and 14 walks against only six strikeouts. He knocked in five runs on Wednesday. So far in June, Son's hitting .438 with eight runs and eight RBI making him a terrific cash game play at his price point.
OFPreston TuckerKIAM. Kim (R)$5,700
Tucker's due for a dinger on Thursday. He gets a pitcher yielding .476 average to left-handed hitters and coughed up six home runs in only 33.2 innings of work this season. As for Tucker, he's not homered in six games making for tonight's dong call of the slate.
OFHo Ryung KimKIAM. Kim (R)$3,500
Kim's been an absolute motor atop the lineup since returning to Kia. He's hitting .385/.467/.808 with 11 runs, five extra-base hits, four RBI and two stolen bases in eight games. Also, Kim hits .421 against RHP with two home runs in only 19 at-bats.
OFHyun Soo KimLGR. Pinto (R)$5,100
Homered in two straight games with multiple hits in each of them, features a .430 average against RHP with six walks and only two stirkeouts against them this year while driving in 15 runs.
OFJun Woo JeonLOTM. Jang (R)$4,200
Seeing a theme with Lotte bats? Hanwha's roster remains in flux and Jeon's hit five home runs with a .326 average facing right-handed pitching.
OFMyung Gi LeeNCDY. Lee (R)$2,900
Once again, if searching for price relief Lee's hitting second for the Dinos and recorded three straight multiple hit games with 41 DK points in them. He's also hit safely in seven consecutive contests for the Dinos. Lee allows LHH to a .311 average with more walks (11) than strikeouts (7) this season.
OFSung Bum NaNCDY. Lee (R)$5,800
At this price, I prefer Tucker but Na may be low owned in GPP's. Over his last 10 games Na's hitting .326 with a 1.081 OPS, three home runs and 10 RBI. He also enjoys hitting in primetime games on ESPN which this game will be televised by.
OFJung Hoo LeeKIWD. Kim (R)$5,300
Lee's hitting .364/.391/.545 his last 10 games with five doubles and a home run. In a recent article, he talked about increasing his bat speed to produce more power and its working so far in 2020. Samsung's one of the best hitter parks in the league and Lee's due for a dong.
