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 Saturday.

Josh Donaldson: Since joining the Blue Jays at the outset of 2015, the third baseman has produced a 1.004 OPS against left-handers (.930 vs. righties) and a 1.018 OPS at his hitter-friendly home park (.872 on the road). Donaldson could post a substantial DraftKings total when he hits at home against Yankees southpaw CC Sabathia (4.19 ERA, 1.35 WHIP in 2016).

Troy Tulowitzki: With 24 homers across 454 at-bats, the veteran shortstop continues to be one of the most powerful players at his premium position. Tulowitzki could go deep or drive in multiple runs when he brings his lofty lifetime .945 OPS against left-handers (.839 vs. righties) into a matchup with the left-handed Sabathia (4.64 ERA, 1.39 WHIP since the outset of 2013).

Russell Martin: With 13 homers and a .356 on-base percentage in the second half, the catcher has been a factor in many recent DraftKings contests. Martin could continue to excel when he bats at his offense-inducing home park against the left-handed Sabathia and a Yankees bullpen that lacks reliable options after trading away Aroldis Chapman and Andrew Miller in late July.

Robinson Cano: Hitting .292 with 33 homers and 90 RBIs across 613 at-bats, the veteran second baseman is wrapping up another excellent season. Cano could post a substantial DraftKings total when he brings his impressive lifetime .887 OPS against right-handers (.779 vs. lefties) into a matchup with righty Tyler Duffey (career 5.34 ERA, 1.45 WHIP) and a Twins bullpen that ranks 27th in the Majors with a 4.60 ERA.

Kyle Seager: With 29 homers and 95 RBIs across 556 at-bats, the third baseman has quietly been one of the most productive 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 Duffey (6.39 ERA, …
