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 on Saturday.
Adrian Gonzalez: From his cleanup spot, the first baseman could drive in multiple runs when he travels to hitter-friendly Coors Field to face right-hander Tyler Chatwood (career 4.26 ERA). Gonzalez has traditionally fared best vs. right-handers, against whom he has posted a lifetime .902 OPS (.773 vs. lefties).
Joc Pederson: The outfielder has logged notable career splits, with a .781 OPS against right-handers that exceeds his .649 mark vs. lefties. Pederson could rip a round-tripper when he travels to offense-inducing Coors Field to face Chatwood (career 1.53 WHIP) and a Rockies bullpen that ranks 29th in the Majors with a 6.26 ERA.
Justin Turner: The third baseman — who has hit .309 since joining the Dodgers at the outset of 2014 — could have a terrific game when he brings his lifetime .794 OPS against right-handers (.711 vs. lefties) into a matchup with the right-handed Chatwood (career 4.54 FIP) at Colorado’s homer-happy venue.
Corey Seager: Since making his big league debut on Sept. 3, 2015, Seager has registered an impressive .302/.362/.481 slash line against right-handers. The shortstop could provide stellar production at a premium position when he faces Chatwood and a suspect Rockies relief corps.
Scooter Gennett: The second baseman has produced some of the most lopsided lifetime splits in baseball, with an .800 OPS against right-handers that exceeds his .353 mark vs. lefties. Gennett could reach base often or score multiple runs when he bats at his hitter-friendly home park against right-hander Charlie Morton (career 4.53 ERA, 1.44 WHIP) and a Phillies bullpen ranks 27th in the Majors with a 5.33 ERA.
Bryce Harper: With a .329/.455/.667 slash line since the outset of 2015, Harper is arguably the most dangerous hitter in baseball. The outfielder could produce a difference-making total in DraftKings contests when he …
