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 Friday.
John Jaso: The first baseman has long fared best vs. right-handers, against whom he has a lifetime .800 OPS (.532 vs. lefties). Hitting leadoff, Jaso may maximize his chances to succeed against Angels righty Jered Weaver (4.85 ERA since the outset of 2015).
Jung Ho Kang: Hitting out of the cleanup spot, the third baseman — who has hit six homers across 65 at-bats this season — could display his power when he brings his balanced career splits into a matchup with the fly-ball-prone Weaver (1.5 HR/9 rate since the outset of 2015).
Danny Espinosa: Hitting .200 this season, the shortstop could have a reduced DraftKings price tag when he brings his solid lifetime .781 OPS against left-handers (.657 vs. righties) into a matchup at hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park against Reds southpaw Brandon Finnegan (4.14 ERA, 1.38 WHIP in 2016).
Jayson Werth: Expected to hit out of a premium lineup spot, the outfielder could display his power or reach base several times when he takes his lifetime .931 OPS against southpaws (.784 vs. righties) into a matchup with the left-handed Finnegan (career 4.76 FIP). Werth could also thrive late in the game against a Reds relief corps that ranks last in the Majors with a 6.69 ERA.
Michael Conforto: The second-year outfielder has posted lopsided splits, with a .914 OPS against right-handers that exceeds his .313 mark vs. lefties. Conforto could drive in multiple runs when he tangles with Marlins righty Tom Koehler (career 4.14 ERA, 1.37WHIP).
Neil Walker: With 13 homers across 180 at-bats, the second baseman has been one of the most powerful players at his premium position this season. Walker could excel when he brings his lifetime .800 OPS against right-handers (.684 vs. lefties) into a matchup with the right-handed Koehler (4.50 ERA, 1.65 WHIP in …
