DraftKings KBO: Sunday Cheat Sheet

This article is part of our DraftKings KBO series.
The KBO s disrupted stretch continued Saturday, with just two games going forward. The Dinos-Heroes and Twins-Bears contests were cancelled for the second straight day due to COVID-19, and that pair was joined by a cancellation between the Wiz and Tigers, as the Tigers had recently played against the Bears, who had two organization members test positive Saturday. That meant we saw just nine total runs scored on the day, as both games that went forward turned out to be very low-scoring. The Lions got three runs in the first inning and never needed any more the rest of the way as they slipped past the Giants by a 3-2 score, while Min Woo Kim struck out nine batters and allowed just a single run on two hits in six innings of work as the Eagles beat the Landers, 3-1.

DraftKings KBO: Saturday Cheat Sheet

This article is part of our DraftKings KBO series.
The weather held up Friday, but we still couldn t get a full KBO slate, as two games were cancelled after a pair of Dinos tested positive for COVID-19. The Dinos-Heroes game was unsurprisingly postponed as a result, as was the game between the Twins and Bears, since the Bears had just played the Dinos earlier in the week. Both matchups are seemingly at risk for another cancellation Saturday, though neither game has officially been axed as of writing. Those aren t the only games with question marks as of writing, as rain could potentially wash away the Eagles-Landers and Wiz-Tigers contests. With so much uncertainty throughout the slate, I ll be recommending players from all five games here, but you ll definitely want to double-check what the day will actually look like before contests start. Most of the pitchers whose scheduled starts were postponed Friday are set to start again S
