KBO DFS Lineup Picks For 6/21/20 - DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball

Welcome back RotoBallers! How did you do on last night's slate? I fared better on FanDuel than I did on DraftKings.

KBO Betting Picks (6/10/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

Well if going winless isn't a terrible way to start the week off, I'm not sure what is. I went with the public on Hanwha and Lotte and it totally flopped. I expected KT's offense to comeback to form but they really look to be struggling right now. Meanwhile LG seems to be a one-trick […]

KBO Betting Picks (6/3/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

Tuesday was a positive day record wise, but man I can't help but be a bit sick about the NC Dinos. It seems like every time they are in the "right spot" and I grab the runline, they blow up. That happened again on Tuesday. And maybe it was just poor analysis on my part, […]
