The KBO's stretch run continues Thursday with a five-game slate featuring 15-game winner Raul Alcantara at the top and a couple of other lower-priced arms that line up for potentially successful performances. We've also got only two games with double-digit projected run totals – certainly unusual for KBO play – but there are still several bats in favorable matchups.
As customary, I'll highlight what I consider to be two of the safer pitching options at different price points, followed by some one-off hitters across the salary scale that could also prove profitable for cash games and/or tournaments. I'll then break down the two stacks that I trust the most to potentially string some above-average offensive numbers together and pay off for you in tournaments.

Raul Alcantara ($10,800) is the highest-priced arm on the slate as usual, but once again, he's deserving of that distinction, particularly in the matchup he finds himself in Thursday. The former MLB right-hander faces a Wyverns team that's averaging the second-fewest runs (4.3) and hits (8.3) per game, while also posting the second-lowest team batting average (.249).

Chan Heon Jung ($9,000) comes at a nice discount over Alcantara and is in a good spot as well, as he's facing a Lions squad that he's already generated a 1.39 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and
