Welcome to DraftKings fantasy baseball, the Official Daily Fantasy Game of Major League Baseball.
The players listed within this article are in position to provide difference-making stats for DraftKings participants on Wednesday.
Odubel Herrera: Having posted a lifetime .815 OPS against right-handers that exceeds his .662 mark vs. lefties, the outfielder has the skills to reach base often against righty Mike Foltynewicz (career 4.99 ERA, 1.46 WHIP) and a Braves bullpen that ranks 20th with a 4.03 ERA. Herrera could also swipe a base against catcher Tyler Flowers, who has thrown out three of 60 would-be basestealers this season.
Trea Turner: During his impressive rookie season, Turner has produced a lofty .978 OPS against right-handers in comparison to a .696 mark vs. lefties.

Adrian Gonzalez: From the heart of the lineup, the first baseman could drive in multiple runs when he brings his lifetime 140 wRC+ against right-handers (108 vs. lefties) into a matchup with the right-handed Perdomo and an unreliable Padres bullpen.
Corey Dickerson: With 23 homers across 485 at-bats this season and a solid lifetime .889 OPS against right-handers (.655 vs. lefties), the outfielder is a strong candidate to rip a …
