| Hitters |
| Pos | Player | Team | Opp. Pitcher | DK Sal. |
| C | Kang Nam Yoo | LG | J. Baek (L) | $3,400 |
| Against southpaws this season, Yoo's hitting .400 (4-for-10) with two home runs. He's also boasting a .333/.371/.515 slash line over his last 10 contests facing a left-handed pitcher with a 7.20 ERA, 8.93 FIP and 4.5 HR/9 rate. |
| C | Dong Won Park | KIW | M. Kim | $4,300 |
| A boom or bust hitter with the propensity to produce power puts Park on the radar on this slate. Park's hitting .337 this year with six home runs and a 1.019 OPS. He gets a pitcher who gets strikeouts but also serves up the long ball allowing five in 27 innings with a 5.44 FIP. Thinking Kiwoom helps induce migration to the mean and sweeps Hanwha in a potential rout. |
| 1B/OF | Jin Sung Kang | NCD | T. Kim (L) | $3,600 |
| Great value for a guy giving us multi-position eligibility. Not only that, but he’s hitting .412 versus left-handed pitching on the year with three bombs of his seven hits in 17 at-bats. He wasn’t really an everyday player but injuries thrusted him into the spotlight and he hasn’t disappointed. |
| 1B | Jae Il Oh | DOO | M. Kim (R) | $3,800 |
| Thanks to his injury that kept him sidelined for six games we’re getting Oh at an extremely discounted price tag. He had four hits on Tuesday and is a player who’s posted an OPS of .866 or better for four straight campaigns while belting 20+ homers and driving in 80+ runs during the same span. Take advantage of the price while we can. Kim gives up a .298 average to LHH like Oh and two home runs due for regression to the mean making a Doosan stack of left-handed hitters make sense. |
| 1B | Ming Sang Yoo | KIA | K. Noh (R) | $3,700 |
| A disappointing performance on Wednesay may keep Yoo off the radar on Thursday. He's 10-for-his-last-16 with a home run and seven RBI his last four games and gets a pitcher allowing a .327 average split advantage for Yoo. Cheap upside. |
| 1B/2B | Jose Fernandez | DOO | M. Kim (R) | $6,400 |
| This game is now at 11.5 O/U implied so let's gravitate towards the league's best hitter right now, shall we? Fernandez leads the KBO in average (.456), hits (47), second in RBI (27) and fourth in runs (21). He's pricy but dude's raking right now. |
| Pos | Player | Team | Opp. Pitcher | DK Sal. |
| 1B/2B | Keon Chang Seo | KIW | M. W. Kim (R) | $3,600 |
| Missed some time with inflammation in his elbow, so shook off some rust on Wednesday. But, Seo's a hit machine as the only KBO player ever with 200 in a season in the past. He's batting .315 with three hoe runs and gets a pitcher allowing left-handed batters to a .316 average handing out seven walks so far against them and three dingers. |
| 1B/2B | Joo Hwan Choi | DOO | M. Kim (R) | $2,500 |
| If trying to stack Doosan bats or need a cheap flier with power upside, Choi makes sense with positional eligibility and five home runs in 2020 along with a .273 average on the road where he's launched four home runs. |
| 2B/SS | Hye Jung Kim | KIW | M. W. Kim (R) | $2,200 |
| Riding a six-game hit streak, Kim's 13-for-23 (.520) in it with seven runs, seven RBI and gets the splits advantage facing a pitcher allowing a .316 average to left-handed batters. |
| SS | Ha Seong Kim | KIW | M. W. Kim (R) | $6,100 |
| On a modest four-game hit streak but Kim's hitting .412 (7-for-17) in it with six runs, a double, a home run, seven RBI and five walks. He's seeing the ball well and due for another strong outing with Kiwoom looking for its third straight win in Hanwha. |
| 3B/SS | Tyler Saladino | SAM | C. Jung (R) | $3,900 |
| It's amazing to see Saladino adapt to the KBO and surge of late recording a seven game hit streak with the last five being of the multi-hit variety. He's 13-for-26 in the streak with three doubles, three home runs and 12 RBI for Samsung. Pretty, pretty good. |
| 3B/SS | Jeong Choi | SK | D. Rucinski | $4,300 |
| Choi's riding a six-game hitting streak and has caught fire. During that stretch, he has driven in nine runs, has scored eight more, has 5 XBH and even has a SB to boot. With third base tough to fill on this slate, Choi makes for a one-off potential target if he can keep his streak alive against the hard throwing Rucinski. |
| 3B | Woong Bin Kim | KIW | M. W. Kim (R) | $2,100 |
| In a platoon, Kim should play against a right-handed pitcher and racked up 25 DK points two days ago going 2-for-5 with his first home run. If Kiwoom explodes and Kim's in the lineup, he's the type of cheap pivot needed to get the studs on the lineup for DFS play. |
| OF | Mel Rojas Jr. | KTW | R. Alcantara (R) | $6,100 |
| Here's a reason why providing less expensive options around the infield makes sense. Rojas Jr. homered for the third straight game on Wednesday and he's hit four total in them. With Rojas Jr. on fire, he's slashing a robust .417/.460/.738 this year with 23 runs, eight home runs and 26 RBI. |
| OF | Jung Hoo Lee | KIW | M. W. Kim (R) | $5,100 |
| Remember my continued love of Sung-bum Na, meet my new obsession, Lee. He's been solid but not turned in a whopper in a bit but on the cusp of a monster contest. Lee's hit all four of his home runs off of RHP, walked nine times against four strikeouts against them and gets Kim on the mound with a 5.44 FIP giving up a .316 average versus LHH along with three home runs. |
| OF | Ho Ryung Kim | KIA | K. Noh (R) | $3,400 |
| Kim's made quite an impression going 3-for-8 his first two starts with a triple, home run, stolen base and three RBI. Leading off for the Tigers, Kim provides much needed salary relief with upside. |
| OF | Yong Ho Jo | KTW | R. Alcantara (R) | $2,500 |
| Over his last three games, Jo's scored seven runs, racked up seven hits and walked three times taking over the OBP lead in the KBO (.506). Not a high upside play, but a solid floor allowing one to get bigger bats in a lineup with two solid pitchers, Jo's your guy. |
