Betts ready for star performance tonight
- Updated: September 6, 2016
Welcome to DraftKings fantasy baseball, the Official Daily Fantasy Game of Major League Baseball.
The players listed below are in position to provide difference-making stats for DraftKings participants tonight.
Mookie Betts: Hitting .318 with 30 homers and 21 steals across 619 plate appearances, the outfielder has been one of the most productive players in baseball this season. Betts has the plate skills to reach base often against Padres righty Paul Clemens (4.93 ERA, 1.62 WHIP in 2016) and the speed to swipe a base against catcher Derek Norris, who has allowed more steals than any other catcher in 2016.
Jackie Bradley Jr.: In his breakout 2016 season, the outfielder has produced a .911 OPS against right-handers that exceeds his .685 mark vs. lefties. Bradley has the plate skills and speed to contribute in multiple ways against a likely battery combination of Norris and the right-handed Clemens (career 5.32 ERA, 1.55 WHIP).
Anthony Rizzo: From the heart of a lineup that ranks third in baseball with 684 runs scored, the first baseman could compile multiple RBIs when he brings his lifetime .870 OPS against right-handers (.779 vs. lefties) into a matchup at hitter-friendly Miller Park against Brewers righty Wily Peralta (5.53 ERA, 1.65 WHIP in 2016).

Russell could go deep or drive in multiple runs when he brings his lifetime 101 wRC+ against right-handers (79 vs. lefties) into a matchup with the right-handed Peralta (career 4.25 ERA, 1.43 WHIP).
Bryce Harper: The outfielder could produce a substantial DraftKings total when he brings his lifetime .294/.400/.539 slash line against right-handers into a matchup with Braves righty Williams Perez (career 4.74 ERA, 1.45 WHIP).
Daniel Murphy: With 25 homers and 98 RBIs across 486 at-bats, the second baseman has been one of the most productive players at his premium position this season. Hitting behind Harper, Murphy could drive in multiple runs when he brings his lifetime .810 OPS against right-handers (.708 vs. lefties) into a matchup …
