Welcome to DraftKings fantasy baseball, the Official Daily Fantasy Game of Major League Baseball.
The players listed below could provide difference-making stats for DraftKings participants today.
Adrian Gonzalez: Gonzalez has long fared best vs. right-handers, against whom he has posted a lifetime .901 OPS (.773 vs. lefties). From the heart of the lineup, the first baseman could drive in multiple runs when he travels to hitter-friendly Coors Field to face right-hander Jon Gray (career 5.53 ERA, 1.62 WHIP).
Joc Pederson: The outfielder has produced pronounced career splits, with a .781 OPS against right-handers that exceeds his .649 mark vs. lefties. Pederson could have an outstanding game when he travels to offense-inducing Coors Field to face the righty Gray and a Rockies bullpen that ranks last in baseball with a 6.26 ERA.

Corey Seager: Since making his big league debut on Sept. 3, 2015, Seager has registered an impressive .314/.375/.500 slash line against right-handers.

Ryan Howard: With a career .282/.372/.565 slash line against right-handers, the first baseman will be in position to put a ball into the outfield seats when he faces righty Zach Davies (lifetime 4.71 ERA, 1.43 WHIP) at hitter-friendly Miller Park. Also of note: The Brewers’ home venue is especially homer-happy for left-handed hitters such as Howard.
Maikel Franco: Having logged a lifetime .290/.330/.477 slash line against right-handers, Franco will be poised to rip a round-tripper when he faces Davies (career 36 1/3 innings) at Milwaukee’s offense-inducing venue. The third baseman could also excel late in the game against an injury-affected …
