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 Wednesday.
Matt Carpenter: Eligible at second base and third base, Carpenter could enter DraftKings lineups in multiple ways when he brings his lifetime 140 wRC+ against right-handers (116 vs. lefties) into a matchup at hitter-friendly Coors Field against rookie righty German Marquez (5.06 ERA, 1.88 WHIP).
Brandon Moss: The outfielder has long fared best vs. right-handers, against whom he owns a lifetime .232 ISO (.155 vs. lefties). Moss could rip his 28th round-tripper of the season or drive in multiple runs when he tangles with the inexperienced righty Marquez (5 1/3 innings) and a Rockies relief corps that ranks 29th in the Majors with a 5.03 ERA.

Mitch Moreland: As a big leaguer, the first baseman has produced a .202 ISO against right-handers that exceeds his .139 mark vs. lefties. Moreland could go deep or drive in multiple runs when he bats at his hitter-friendly home park against Angels fly-ball-prone righty Jered Weaver (5.17 ERA, 1.9 HR/9 rate in 2016).
Nomar Mazara: The second-year outfielder will be in prime position to improve on his solid .805 OPS against right-handers (.557 vs. lefties) when he tangles with the right-handed Weaver (1.50 WHIP in 2016) and an Angels bullpen that is working without injured anchors Huston Street and Cam Bedrosian.
Jean Segura: Hitting .319 with 91 runs and 30 steals across 646 plate appearances, the second baseman has been one of the most productive players at his premium position this season. Segura has the plate skills to thrive against Padres rookie righty Luis Perdomo (5.68 ERA, 1.63 WHIP) and the speed to swipe …
