KBO DFS Picks: Spotlight Pitchers
Casey Kelly
This is more cut-and-dried than usual. Kelly is projected for 83% ownership on DraftKings. It’s not exactly low on FanDuel either. He’s the primary cash game option for the slate. It’s well deserved ownership too. He’s struck out a batter per inning with a 2.53 FIP in 2020. He’s a -253 favorite, which is the biggest line on the slate by a mile. I wouldn’t accept a case for anyone else in this spot.
Hyun Jong Yang
Now, if you need a second starter on DraftKings, or you’re looking for a different build on FanDuel, I think Yang is the next best option. You could make a case that he’s the best pitcher in the entire league. Last year, he finished second in FIP but threw almost 20 more innings than the leader. That kind of durability is important. He’s been off to a slow start in 2020, but I see no reason to doubt him moving forward. There’s a bit of unluckiness in his LOB% that also makes me feel a bit more optimistic. Ultimately, he’s -141 favorite tonight with the lowest implied total against on the slate. All of this backs up popping to the top of my crunches behind Kelly.
