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 Monday.
Carlos Beltran: With balanced career splits that include a .280/.357/.483 slash line against right-handers, the outfielder could hit a homer at Yankee Stadium when he faces Royals fly-ball-prone righty Chris Young (career 1.2 HR/9 rate). The switch-hitting Beltran will bat from the left side against Young, and Yankee Stadium has proven to be especially homer-enhancing for lefty batters.
Brian McCann: In his career, the left-handed-hitting catcher has logged an .824 OPS against right-handers that exceeds his .754 mark against lefties. McCann — who has hit 29 homers across 544 at-bats since the outset of 2015 — could provide power from a premium position when he bats at his homer-happy home park against the long-ball-prone righty Young. In his career, Young has allowed left-handed hitters such as McCann to post a .720 OPS (.658 OPS allowed to righty batters).
Adam Eaton: From his perch atop the lineup, the outfielder will be poised to reach base often and score multiple runs when he brings his lifetime .779 OPS against right-handers (.719 vs. lefties) into a matchup at hitter-friendly Globe Life Park in Arlington against righty Colby Lewis (career 4.76 ERA, 1.37 WHIP). As a big leaguer, Lewis has allowed left-handed hitters such as Eaton to post an .817 OPS (.729 OPS allowed to righty batters).
John Jaso: Jaso has registered notable career splits, with a .796 OPS against right-handers that exceeds his .547 mark vs. lefties. The first baseman — who owns a lifetime .361 on-base percentage — could reach often or drive in multiple runs when he faces righty Dan Straily (career 4.49 ERA, 1.29 WHIP) at hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park.
Gregory Polanco: Polanco has registered pronounced career splits, with a .764 OPS against right-handers in comparison to a .524 mark vs. lefties. The speedy outfielder could produce in multiple ways when he faces the right-handed Straily (career 4.79 FIP) at Cincy’s hitter-friendly venue. He could also succeed late in the game against a Reds relief corps that ranks 30th in the Majors with a 6.57 ERA.
