Welcome, Rotoballers, to my KBO DFS Cheat Sheet! These cheat sheets will include my usual KBO Starting Lineups sheet, KBO Starting Pitchers for the upcoming slate, and my KBO matchup sheets where I personally project the starting lineups for each team.
Remember the KBO is an entirely different animal than MLB and small things can easily be overlooked or accidentally mistranslated. These are the cheat sheets I have been using since day one of the season and how I make all my decisions in KBO DFS.
New to KBO? Don't worry, we got you covered! DraftKings and FanDuel will use the same scoring system that they do for MLB, however, the roster builds are much different on FanDuel. You must roster two infielders, two outfielders, and two utility players along with a pitcher for a total of only seven players on FanDuel. DraftKings has kept its normal MLB structure with two starting pitchers and an entire eight-hitter lineup for a total of ten players. Building lineups on each site is going to be a good bit different on most nights.

Overview
Today, I'll be providing my KBO DFS Cheat Sheets for this five-game slate on DraftKings and FanDuel that locks at 5:30 AM EST Friday, June 12th, 2020. With the two sites being different because of the double-header it makes things very difficult on FanDuel because we may not know who is pitching until some time later in the day or after the first game, we do know that the first game will NOT go into extra inning and can end in a tie after nine. Make sure you are also following me @efhatch1990dfs on Twitter where I tweet out any information I find helpful, and good luck RotoBallers!
Note: I use the earliest lines possible for my sheets so I can track line movement throughout the day. Make sure you are double-checking closer to lock to see if anything significant has changed.
I am going on a vacation through Tuesday so this will be the last Cheat Sheet post till I return sorry everyone but we all need time to get away from DFS and life in general and reset. I advise everyone to do this from time to time!! Hope to see some screenshots when I get back the rest of our awesome KBO team here at Rotoballer will be here to help!
KBO Starting Lineups
I have been tracking the starting lineups since day one! In this sheet, you can see the trends from the last few games and what handedness of pitcher they were going up against. Highlighted in green are players I deemed at risk of not starting, and the ones in yellow are higher risk of not starting. The number next to the player is the number of starts they have had this year.
Doosan / Hanwha
KIA / Kiwoom
KT / LG
Lotte / NC
Samsung / SK
