Harper, Murphy are must-haves in lineup
- Updated: June 5, 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 Sunday.
Bryce Harper: Having posted a .309/.448/.620 slash line since the outset of 2015, the outfielder is arguably the most dominant hitter in baseball. Harper could post an impactful total in DraftKings contests when he bats at hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park against righty Jon Moscot (career 6.14 ERA, 1.57 WHIP) and a Reds relief corps that ranks last in the Majors with a 6.58 ERA.
Daniel Murphy: Hitting .386, the second baseman has been one of the most productive players at his premium position this season. Batting out of the cleanup spot, Murphy could reach base often or drive in multiple runs when he brings his lifetime .801 OPS against right-handers (.687 vs. lefties) into a matchup with the right-handed Moscot (career 8.21 FIP) and a shaky Reds bullpen.
Ben Revere: From his perch atop the lineup, Revere could reach base often and/or score multiple runs when he brings his balanced career splits into a matchup with the inexperienced Moscot (career 29 1/3 innings) and an unreliable Reds relief corps. The speedy outfielder could also swipe a base against a Reds team that is tied for the second-most stolen bases allowed (37) in 2016.
Odubel Herrera: With a 38-to-42 walk-to-strikeout ratio this season, Herrera has shown dramatic improvements at the plate. The outfielder could have an outstanding game when he brings his lifetime .820 OPS against right-handers (.709 vs. lefties) into a matchup with Brewers righty Wily Peralta (career 4.26 ERA, 1.44 WHIP).
Maikel Franco: From the heart of the lineup, the third baseman could drive in multiple runs when he brings his lifetime .782 OPS against right-handers (.689 vs. lefties) into a matchup at his hitter-friendly home park against the right-handed Peralta (6.51 ERA, 1.92 WHIP in 2016). Franco could also thrive against a Brewers bullpen that ranks 21st in the Majors with a 4.04 ERA.
Ryan Howard: In his career, Howard has …
