KBO DFS Picks: Spotlight Pitchers
Chan Gyu Lim
Lim is the clear-cut top pitching option on both sites. Lim has been dealing in 2020 with a 2.96 FIP and 23% strikeout rate over 22.3 innings. Those are elite numbers. His ERA is inflated do to some bad luck in the BABIP department. While he’s a slight underdog in the game, his price is well below his projected talent. DraftKings in particular simply got it wrong at $7,200. He’s the top option in cash on both sites.
Mike Wright
The guy I would pair Lim with on DraftKings is Wright. While the results have been solid for Wright so far, the underlying numbers tell a slightly different story. He’s sporting a 5.27 FIP over his 28 innings. Some may look at that number and overreact. A quick look at the line at DraftKings sportsbook tells the real story: Wright is expected to be elite. He and the Dinos are -295 favorites, the largest line on the slate by miles. I expect the strikeouts to rise and the FIP to fall starting now. He’s my clear #2.
