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 Sunday.

Stephen Vogt: The catcher will be poised to deliver production at a premium position when he brings his lifetime .758 OPS against right-handers (.614 vs. lefties) into a matchup with righty Mike Pelfrey (5.55 ERA, 1.81 WHIP in 2016). Vogt could also thrive late in the game against a Tigers bullpen that ranks 22nd in the Majors with a 4.12 ERA.

Khris Davis: With 13 homers across 182 plate appearances, the outfielder has been one of the most powerful batters in baseball this season. Davis could put a ball into the outfield seats and/or drive in multiple runs when he faces Pelfrey (career 4.55 ERA, 1.49 WHIP) and an unreliable Tigers relief corps.

Buster Posey: With a lifetime .328/.387/.561 slash line against left-handers, the catcher has proven to be among the best in baseball during those matchups. Posey could produce a game-changing total in DraftKings contests when he vacates his pitcher-friendly home park and bats at offense-inducing Coors Field against southpaw Chris Rusin (career 5.00 ERA, 1.52 WHIP) and a Rockies relief corps that ranks 21st in baseball with a 4.08 ERA.

Elvis Andrus: With a lifetime .721 OPS against left-handers (.665 vs. righties), the shortstop has the plate skills to reach base often against Pirates southpaw Francisco Liriano (4.30 ERA, 1.47 WHIP in 2016) and a Pirates bullpen that ranks 20th in the Majors with a 4.07 ERA. Andrus also has the skills to swipe a bag against Francisco Cervelli, who has allowed more steals than any other catcher since the outset of 2015.

Andrew McCutchen: With a lifetime .324/.409/.561 slash line against left-handers, the outfielder has proven to wield a potent bat during those matchups. McCutchen could have an outstanding game when he tangles with Rangers southpaw Martin Perez (career 4.03 ERA, 1.39) at offense-inducing Globe Life Park in Arlington.
