Welcome to DraftKings fantasy baseball, the Official Daily Fantasy Game of Major League Baseball.
The players listed below are in position to provide difference-making stats for DraftKings participants on Tuesday.
Miguel Cabrera: With a lifetime .312/.425/.549 slash line against left-handers, the first baseman has proven to be one of the best in baseball during those matchups. Cabrera could post a substantial DraftKings total when he faces southpaw Tommy Milone (career 4.05 ERA, 1.31 WHIP) and a Twins bullpen that ranks 24th in baseball with a 4.43 ERA.
Jose Iglesias: With a lifetime .777 OPS against left-handers that exceeds his .648 mark vs. righties, the shortstop will be in great position to provide cost-effective production when he faces the left-handed Milone (5.09 FIP in 2016) and an unreliable Twins bullpen.
Ian Kinsler: Hitting leadoff, the second baseman may maximize his opportunities to reach base and score runs when he brings his lifetime .885 OPS against left-handers (.764 vs. righties) into a matchup with the left-handed Milone (5.23 ERA, 1.57 WHIP in 2016) and an unreliable Twins bullpen. Kinsler could also swipe a base against catcher Kurt Suzuki, who sometimes struggles to thwart would-be base stealers.
James McCann: As a big leaguer, the catcher has posted an .851 OPS against left-handers in comparison to a .559 mark vs. righties. McCann could provide cost-effective production at a premium position when he faces the left-handed Milone and a Twins squad that ranks last in baseball with a .666 defensive efficiency ratio.
David Ortiz: As a big leaguer, the slugger has posted a .983 OPS against right-handers that exceeds his .813 mark vs. lefties. Ortiz could add to his impressive 2016 totals of 22 homers and 72 RBIs across 303 at-bats when he tangles with Giants righty Jake Peavy (5.09 ERA, 1.45 WHIP in 2016).
Nolan Arenado: In his career, the third baseman has fared best when facing left-handers (.292/.362/.518 slash line) and batting at his offense-inducing home park (.307/.351/.570 slash …
