The players listed below could provide difference-making stats for DraftKings participants on Monday.

Anthony Gose: The outfielder owns notable career splits, with a .683 OPS against right-handers that exceeds his .527 mark vs. lefties. Gose could provide cost-effective production in DraftKings contests when he faces A’s righty Kendall Graveman (career 4.40 FIP, 1.33 WHIP).

Ryan Raburn: Raburn has produced notable lifetime splits, with an .833 OPS against left-handers compared to a .695 mark vs. righties. The outfielder — who has recorded a 1.043 OPS against southpaws since the start of 2015 — could put a ball into the outfield seats at his hitter-friendly home park when he faces Pirates lefty …
