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 Sunday.
Joe Mauer: The first baseman has long fared well against right-handers, including a lifetime .896 OPS that is partly fueled by a .939 mark this season. Batting from the heart of the Minnesota lineup, Mauer could reach base often or score multiple runs when he faces Tigers righty Mike Pelfrey (career 4.52 ERA, 1.49 WHIP).
Adam Eaton: With a lifetime .779 OPS against right-handers (.717 vs. lefties) and a solid .300 average this year, Eaton could provide solid production from the leadoff spot when he faces Orioles righty Ubaldo Jimenez (career 4.01 ERA, 4.1 BB/9). This season, Jimenez has struggled to prevent baserunners to the tune of a 1.57 WHIP.
Stephen Vogt: The A’s catcher could go deep when faces off against struggling Astros righty Doug Fister. Vogt’s career .763 OPS against righties is far superior than his .645 mark against lefties, while Fister owns a 4.44 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP since the beginning of last year — including a 5.56 ERA in four starts this season.
David Peralta: Peralta owns notable lifetime splits, with an .890 OPS against right-handers that exceeds his .626 mark vs. lefties. The outfielder could drive in multiple runs when he faces Rockies righty Chad Bettis (career 5.02 ERA, 1.50 WHIP) and a Rockies relief corps that ranks 28th in the Majors with a 5.40 ERA.
Jake Lamb: Since arriving to the Majors during the 2014 season, the third baseman has posted notable splits that include a .751 OPS against right-handers that exceeds his .579 mark vs. lefties. Batting at his hitter-friendly home park, Lamb could thrive in a matchup against the righty Bettis (career 4.33 FIP) and the shaky Rockies bullpen.
Devin Mesoraco: Hitting .140 this season, the catcher could be a cost-effective option at a premium position when he faces Pirates left-hander Jeff Locke (career 4.19 ERA, 1.41 WHIP). Mesoraco — who compiled 25 homers and 80 RBIs during his most recent full season in 2014 — owns a lifetime .829 OPS against left-handers in comparison to a .685 mark vs. righties.
Zack Cozart: From his perch …
