Marlins’ Dietrich, Bour, Chen set up for Saturday success
- Updated: May 28, 2016
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.
Scooter Gennett: The second baseman has produced some of the most lopsided splits in baseball, with a lifetime .787 OPS against right-handers in comparison to a .352 mark vs. lefties. Gennett could thrive in a matchup against righty Alfredo Simon (10.16 ERA, 2.15 WHIP in 2016) and a Reds relief corps that ranks last in the Majors with a 6.49 ERA.
Chris Carter: With 13 homers across 165 at-bats, the first baseman has been one of the most powerful players in baseball this season. Carter could put a ball into the outfield seats at his hitter-friendly home park when he tangles with Simon (career 4.46 ERA, 1.38 WHIP) and an unreliable Reds bullpen.
Derek Dietrich: With a lifetime .788 OPS against right-handers (.641 vs. lefties), the second baseman could provide power at a premium position when he faces rookie righty Aaron Blair (7.59 ERA, 1.88 WHIP). Dietrich could also excel against a Braves bullpen that ranks 27th in the Majors with a 4.57 ERA.
Justin Bour: Since the outset of last season, the first baseman has ripped 32 round-trippers across 459 at-bats against right-handers. Bour could go deep or drive in multiple runs when he brings his lifetime .839 OPS against right-handers (.552 vs. lefties) into a matchup with the right-handed Blair and an unreliable Braves relief corps.
Aaron Hicks: The outfielder has posted notable career splits, with a .751 OPS against left-handers that exceeds his .602 mark vs. righties. Hitting .198 this season, Hicks could be a cost-effective option in DraftKings contests when he faces Rays southpaw Matt Moore (5.47 ERA, 1.45 WHIP in 2016).
Mitch Moreland: The first baseman has long fared best vs. right-handers, against whom he has registered a lifetime .790 OPS (.646 vs. lefties). Moreland could go deep or drive in multiple runs when he bats at his hitter-friendly home park against Pirates righty Juan Nicasio (career 4.84 ERA, 1.46 WHIP).
