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 tonight.
Odubel Herrera: With a 25-to-23 walk-to-strikeout ratio, the outfielder has shown notable improvements at the dish this season. Herrera could make gains on his lifetime .799 OPS against right-handers (.745 vs. lefties) when he faces Braves righty Matt Wisler (career 4.36 ERA, 1.33 WHIP).
Ryan Howard: The first baseman could go deep or drive in multiple runs when he brings his lifetime .281/.371/.564 slash line against right-handers into a matchup with the righty Wisler and a Braves bullpen that ranks 28th in the Majors with a 4.73 ERA. As a big leaguer, Wisler has allowed left-handed hitters such as Howard to post a .913 OPS (.617 OPS allowed to righty batters).
Joey Votto: The first baseman has used a patient, powerful approach to build a lofty lifetime .315/.432/.544 slash line against right-handers. From the No. 3 spot in the Reds’ lineup, Votto could post a difference-making total in DraftKings contests when he bats at his hitter-friendly home park against Pirates righty Juan Nicasio (career 4.76 ERA, 1.46 WHIP).
Jay Bruce: The outfielder has long fared best vs. right-handers, against whom he has a lifetime .809 OPS (.713 vs. lefties). Bruce could homer from his offense-inducing home park against the right-handed Nicasio (4.24 FIP, 1.34 WHIP in 2016).
Chris Davis: With 134 homers since the outset of 2013, the first baseman is arguably the most powerful slugger in baseball. Davis — who has logged a .260/.371/.587 slash line against right-handers since the outset of 2013 — could go deep or drive in multiple runs when he faces Twins righty Jose Berrios, who has posted a 6.75 ERA and a 1.71 WHIP across his initial two big league starts.
Manny Machado: With 44 homers, 20 steals, 126 runs and 108 RBIs since the outset of 2015, the third baseman has become one of baseball’s best offensive players. Machado has the plate skills to thrive against the inexperienced Berrios and the speed to steal a base against catcher Kurt Suzuki, who …
