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 Sunday.
Logan Forsythe: From his perch atop the lineup, the second baseman could reach base often and score multiple runs when he brings his lifetime 127 wRC+ against left-handers (91 vs. righties) into a matchup with southpaw Martin Perez (career 4.28 ERA, 1.40 WHIP) and a Rangers bullpen that ranks 25th in baseball with a 4.38 ERA.
Evan Longoria: With 36 homers and 97 RBIs across 624 at-bats, the third baseman has been one of the most powerful players in the American League this season.

Anthony Rizzo: With 32 homers, 108 RBIs and 93 runs across 669 plate appearances, the first baseman has been one of the most productive players in baseball this season. From the heart of a Cubs lineup that ranks third in baseball with 797 runs scored, Rizzo could post a substantial DraftKings total at the expense of rookie righty Robert Stephenson (6.27 ERA, 1.55 WHIP) and a Reds relief corps that is tied for 29th in baseball with a 5.06 ERA.
Addison Russell: The second-year shortstop will be in prime position to improve on his lifetime 97 wRC+ against right-handers (84 vs. lefties) when he faces the …
