KBO DFS Picks: Spotlight Pitchers
Drew Rucinski
This is the cash play on both sites. He’s currently projected for the most ownership on FanDuel and Draftkings, and that’s exactly where he came out in my preliminary crunches. This shouldn’t be surprising. The NC Dinos are -254 favorites tonight, which is the biggest line on the slate. Now, a good bit of this is because of a quality Dinos offense; something the Samsung Lions lack. But don’t sleep on Rucinski. He was solid last year in 30 starts, and he’s been off to an excellent start to 2020.
Eric Jokisch
Or, you could play a similar pitcher in a slightly worse spot at a mild ownership discount. Jokisch had an excellent 3.28 FIP in 181.3 innings for the Heroes last year, and he’s off to an even better start in 2020. Kiwoom is a -201 favorite, which isn’t too far behind Rucinski and the Dinos. I like Jokisch a bit more on FanDuel where the relative salary difference between the two is more extreme, but he’s still my number two guy on DraftKings.
