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.
Denard Span: From his perch atop the lineup, Span could reach base often and score multiple runs when he brings his lifetime .761 OPS against right-handers (.707 vs. lefties) into a matchup with righty Jon Moscot (career 4.28 ERA, 1.39 WHIP in six starts) at hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park. The outfielder could also excel late in the game against a Reds relief corps that ranks last in the Majors with a 6.16 ERA.
Matt Duffy: With a lifetime .291/.326/.432 slash line against right-handers, the third baseman will be in position to thrive when he vacates his pitcher-friendly home venue and tangles with the righty Moscot and a shaky Reds bullpen at Cincy’s offense-inducing park.
Brandon Belt: The first baseman has 66 career long balls, with 48 coming off right-handers and 45 being hit away from San Francisco’s long-ball-suppressing venue. On Tuesday, the lefty-batting Belt will be in prime position to put a ball into the outfield seats when he faces the right-handed Moscot at Cincy’s homer-happy park.
Kole Calhoun: As a big leaguer, the outfielder has posted a .770 OPS against right-handers in comparison to a .721 mark vs. lefties. Calhoun could rip a round-tripper or drive in multiple runs when he bats at hitter-friendly Miller Park against 31-year-old righty Junior Guerra, who will be making his first career start.
Mike Trout: Among the most feared sluggers in baseball, Trout has logged a lofty lifetime .309.395/.569 slash line against right-handers. The outfielder has the plate skills to excel against the inexperienced righty Guerra and the speed to swipe a base against Jonathan Lucroy, who has allowed more steals than any catcher this season.
Josh Donaldson: Since joining the Blue Jays at the outset of 2015, Donaldson has hit .317/.412/.691 against left-handers and .333/.400/.658 at his hitter-friendly home park. The third baseman could go deep or reach base several times when he tangles with Rangers southpaw Martin Perez (career 4.22 ERA, 1.40 …
