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: With notable career splits that include an .899 OPS against right-handers and a .772 mark vs. lefties, the first baseman could display his power when he bats at his hitter-friendly Rogers Centre against righty R.A. Dickey (career 1.1 HR/9 rate).
Joc Pederson: The second-year outfielder has posted notable lifetime splits, with a .789 OPS against right-handers that exceeds his .675 mark vs. lefties. Set to vacate his pitcher-friendly home park and face the righty Dickey (5.73 ERA, 1.61 WHIP in 2016) at offense-inducing Rogers Centre, Pederson could rip a round-tripper or drive in multiple runs.
Justin Turner: The third baseman has long fared best vs. right-handers, against whom he has produced a lifetime .790 OPS (.715 vs. lefties). Batting .250 with zero homers this season, Turner could be a cost-effective option at the hot corner in DraftKings contests when he tangles with the right-handed Dickey (career 4.34 FIP) at hitter-friendly Rogers Centre.
Jedd Gyorko: Gyorko is in possession of lopsided lifetime splits, with a .772 OPS against left-handers that exceeds his .663 mark vs. righties. The second baseman could have a productive game when he faces Pirates southpaw Jeff Locke, who has logged a 4.73 ERA and a 1.84 WHIP in 2016.
Stephen Piscotty: Since making his big league debut on July 21, 2015, the outfielder has posted a 1.010 OPS against left-handers in comparison to an .804 mark vs. righties. Piscotty could drive in multiple runs when he faces the left-handed Locke (career 4.19 ERA, 1.40 WHIP).
Corey Dickerson: Hitting .192 this season, the outfielder could have a reduced price tag in DraftKings contests when he brings his impressive lifetime .929 OPS against right-handers (.631 vs. lefties) into a matchup with Angels fly-ball-prone righty Jered Weaver (4.76 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, 1.4 HR/9 rate since the outset of 2015).
Stephen Vogt: In his career, Vogt has produced a .765 OPS against right-handers that exceeds his .639 mark vs. lefties. The catcher will be poised to …
