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 Friday.

Robinson Cano: Hitting .292 with 33 homers and 90 RBIs across 613 at-bats, the veteran second baseman continues to be one of the most productive players at his premium position. Cano could post a substantial DraftKings total when he brings his lofty lifetime .887 OPS against right-handers (.779 vs. lefties) into a matchup with righty Kyle Gibson (career 4.59 ERA, 1.40 WHIP) and a Twins bullpen that ranks 26th in the Majors with a 4.54 ERA.

Kyle Seager: With 29 homers and 95 RBIs across 556 at-bats, the third baseman has quietly been one of the most powerful players in the American League this season. Seager could display his power when he takes his lifetime 129 wRC+ against right-handers (100 vs. lefties) into a matchup with the right-handed Gibson (5.10 ERA, 1.55 WHIP in 2016) and an unreliable Twins bullpen.

Seth Smith: The outfielder owns notable lifetime splits, with a .358 wOBA against right-handers in comparison to a .267 mark vs. lefties. Smith could have a great game when he faces the right-handed Gibson and a Twins squad that ranks last in the Majors with a .664 defensive efficiency ratio.

Chris Davis: With 85 homers since the outset of 2015, the first baseman is arguably the most powerful player in baseball. Davis could put another ball into the outfield seats at his hitter-friendly home park when he faces righty Shelby Miller (6.90 ERA, 1.74 WHIP in 2016) and a D-backs bullpen that ranks last in baseball with a 5.06 ERA.

Jonathan Schoop: Having hit 24 homers across 577 at-bats this season, the second baseman has proven to be one of the most powerful players at his premium position. Schoop could go deep or drive in multiple runs when he brings his lifetime .758 OPS against right-handers (.595 vs. lefties) into a matchup with the right-handed Miller (5.14 FIP in 2016) and a D-backs squad that ranks 29th in the Majors with a .665 defensive efficiency ratio.
