Dream11 Fantasy KBO: Dinos at Wiz

This article is part of our Dream11 Fantasy KBO series.

NC Dinos (29-12) at KT Wiz (18-24)

Wednesday, June 24th, 5:30 AM EDT

Projected starters

RHP Mike Wright (5-2, 3.80 ERA) vs RHP Min Soo Kim (1-2, 7.97 ERA)

Game Preview

The Dinos sit quite comfortably in first place with a 29-12 record, 3.5 games ahead of the Doosan Bears, so it's safe to say they won't be going away any time soon unless they suffer a prolonged losing skid. The Wiz, on the other hand, are coming off a loss in the series opener and, despite going 7-4 in their last 11 contests, they're still stuck in eighth with an 18-24 record. Like many teams, the Wiz have had all kinds of problems with the Dinos this season, losing each of their first four meetings. The Dinos will try to extend that streak when they send Mike Wright, who owns a solid 3.80 ERA thus far, to the mound. In his lone previous start against the Wiz, Wright pitched six innings of one-run ball. Meanwhile, the Wiz will counter with Min Soo Kim, who has struggled to a 7.97 ERA thus far. This will be his first start of the season against the Dinos.

Injuries

Joon Wan Kim - 10-Day IL - Side

June 1 - Kim felt soreness in his right side last week, according to OSEN, and was placed on the injured list. It's not clear how long Kim will be sidelined, but the Dinos' reserve outfielder has not played since May 28 and will

It's not clear how long Kim will be sidelined, but the Dinos' reserve outfielder has not played since May 28 and will apparently miss more time. Sung Wook Kim was added to the roster in Joon Wan Kim's place.

Top picks

Sung Bum Na, Dinos: Na might have gone 0-for-3 during Tuesday's series opener, ending a brief three-game hitting streak, but the slugging outfielder has been one of the Dinos' best bats all season. He has hit safely in all but three games during this month, slashing .316/.373/.632 with five homers and 17 RBI over that stretch.

Mel Rojas, Wiz: Rojas currently leads the KBO in home runs with 14 and is now one away from reaching the 100-homer mark early in his fourth season in the league. He has four multi-hit games in his last five contests and is hitting .355 during in the month of June.

Mike Wright, Dinos: Wright allowed just one run in six innings during his previous start against the Wiz this season and certainly looks like the best pitching option in this matchup despite his cost (12 credits). He owns a 3.80 ERA with a 1.29 WHIP on the year and is could be in line for a bounceback performance after allowing seven runs in six innings the last time out.

Aaron Altherr, Dinos: Altherr only has one hit in his last nine at-bats, but that doesn't change the fact that he's been extremely hot this month. He's hitting .290 with a .362 on-base percentage and a .581 slugging percentage during June and should be a strong play in most Dinos games.
