Pedroia, Votto poised to shine on Monday
- Updated: September 12, 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 on Monday.
Dustin Pedroia: In his productive career, the second baseman has registered an impressive .306/.391/.458 slash line against left-handers. Pedroia could thrive from his perch atop a Red Sox lineup that leads the Majors with 779 runs scored when he faces Orioles southpaw Wade Miley (career 4.18 ERA, 1.35 WHIP).
Mookie Betts: Hitting .315 with 30 homers, 23 steals and 107 runs across 643 plate appearances, the outfielder has made a major impact in many 2016 DraftKings contests. From the heart of a productive Boston lineup, Betts could contribute in multiple ways against Miley (5.49 ERA, 1.42 WHIP in 2016).
Xander Bogaerts: Hitting .298 with 18 homers, 81 RBIs and 100 runs scored across 630 plate appearances, the shortstop has been one of the most productive players at his premium position this season. Bogaerts could continue to excel when he brings his lifetime .367 wOBA against left-handers (.312 vs. righties) into a matchup with Miley.

In his career, Peralta has allowed left-handed hitters such as Votto to post an .825 OPS (.710 OPS allowed to righty batters).
Jose Altuve: The second baseman could improve on his impressive 2016 statistics (.339 average, 22 homers, 27 steals across 632 plate appearances) when he brings his stellar lifetime .350/.400/.504 slash line against left-handers into a matchup with Rangers southpaw Martin Perez (career 4.23 ERA, 1.41 WHIP).
George Springer: Hitting leadoff, the outfielder may maximize his opportunities to reach base or display his power when he brings his lifetime …
