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 Wednesday.
Jose Abreu: With a lifetime .298/.356/.537 slash line against right-handers, the first baseman could go deep at hitter-friendly Rogers Centre — which provides an extra power boost to righty hitters — when he faces Blue Jays fly-ball-prone righty Marco Estrada (career 1.3 HR/9 rate).
Daniel Murphy: As a big leaguer, Murphy has produced a .788 OPS against right-handers in comparison to a .686 mark vs. lefties. The second baseman — who has registered a 1.100 OPS this season — could drive in multiple runs when he faces righty Jeremy Hellickson (career 4.42 FIP) and a Phillies relief corps that ranks 27th in the Majors with a 5.26 ERA.
Bryce Harper: Since the outset of 2015, the outfielder has logged an eye-popping .332/.463/.705 slash line against right-handers. Hitting .323 with nine homers across 62 at-bats this season, Harper will be poised to post an impactful point total in DraftKings contests when he faces the righty Hellickson (4.87 ERA, 1.36 WHIP since the outset of 2013) and a shaky Phillies bullpen.
Mookie Betts: From his perch atop the lineup, the outfielder could excel when he brings balanced career splits into a matchup with righty Bud Norris (career 4.49 ERA, 1.41 WHIP) and a Braves bullpen that ranks 22nd in the Majors with a 4.34 ERA. Betts could also swipe a base against A.J. Pierzynski or Tyler Flowers, as both catchers ranked among the top 10 catchers in steals allowed in 2015.
Michael Conforto: Since making his big league debut on July 24, 2015, the outfielder has posted notable splits that include a .929 OPS against right-handers that exceeds his .542 mark vs. lefties. Conforto could have a great game when he faces righty Jon Moscot (career 4.84 ERA, 1.34 WHIP) and a Reds relief corps that ranks last in the Majors with a 6.25 ERA.
Lucas Duda: Duda has long fared best vs. right-handers, against whom he owns a lifetime .840 OPS (.669 vs. lefties). The first …
