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 Thursday.
Corey Seager: Hitting .319 with 25 homers and 95 runs across 613 plate appearances, the shortstop is putting the finishing touches on a memorable rookie season. Seager could improve on his impressive .346/.404/.579 slash line against right-handers when he bats at homer-happy Chase Field against right-handed Archie Bradley (5.10 ERA, 1.57 WHIP in 2016) and a D-backs bullpen that ranks last in the Majors with a 5.16 ERA.
Adrian Gonzalez: Hitting .289 with 79 RBIs across 516 at-bats, the first baseman continues to be one of the most reliable hitters in baseball. From the heart of the lineup, Gonzalez could drive in multiple runs when he brings his lifetime .379 wOBA against right-handers (.331 vs. lefties) into a matchup against the right-handed Bradley (career 5.26 ERA, 1.58 WHIP) and a D-backs squad that ranks last in baseball with a .663 defensive efficiency ratio.

From his perch atop the lineup, Utley may maximize his opportunities against the right-handed Bradley (career 4.64 FIP) at Arizona’s hitter-friendly venue.
Anthony Rizzo: The first baseman will be in great position to improve on his impressive 2016 statistics of 29 homers and 98 RBIs across 526 at-bats when he brings his lifetime .871 OPS against right-handers (.775 vs. lefties) into a matchup with Brewers righty Jimmy Nelson (career 4.29 ERA, 1.39 WHIP). In his career, Nelson has allowed left-handed hitters such as Rizzo to post an .821 OPS (.678 OPS allowed to righty batters).
Addison Russell: The second-year shortstop will have an …
