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.
Eric Hosmer: Since the outset of 2015, the first baseman has produced a difference-making .328/.397/.524 slash line against right-handers. Hosmer could display his power when he vacates his pitcher-friendly home park and faces righty Miguel Gonzalez (career 1.3 HR/9 rate) at homer-happy U.S. Cellular Field.
Kendrys Morales: The slugger has long fared best vs. right-handers, against whom he has a lifetime .805 OPS (.742 vs. lefties). Morales could rip a round-tripper or drive in multiple runs when he tangles with the homer-prone righty Gonzalez (career 4.70 FIP, 1.30 WHIP) at Chicago’s hitter-friendly venue.
Odubel Herrera: Herrera has logged a lifetime .820 OPS against right-handers that exceeds his .725 mark vs. lefties. The second-year outfielder could reach base often when he faces Braves righty Williams Perez, who in his career has allowed left-handed hitters such as Herrera to post an .861 OPS (.705 OPS allowed to righty batters). He could also swipe a base against A.J. Pierzynski, who has allowed more steals than all but four catchers in 2016.
Ryan Howard: With eight homers across 113 at-bats this season, the left-handed-hitting first baseman is a candidate to rip a round-tripper when he bats at his hitter-friendly home park against the right-handed Perez (career 4.78 ERA, 1.50 WHIP). In his career, Howard has posted a .932 OPS against right-handers that exceeds his .713 mark vs. lefties.
David Ortiz: Much of Ortiz’s impressive career resume can be traced to his lofty lifetime .293/.397/.581 slash line against right-handers. The slugger — who has posted an overall 1.044 OPS this season — could post a difference-making DraftKings total when he faces Indians righty Trevor Bauer (career 4.44 ERA, 1.37 WHIP).
