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 Wednesday.
Evan Longoria: In his career, the third baseman has registered a .920 OPS against right-handers that exceeds his .806 mark vs. lefties. Longoria could hit his 22nd homer of the season or drive in multiple runs when he vacates his pitcher-friendly home park and bats at homer-happy Coors Field against southpaw Jorge De La Rosa (career 4.60 ERA, 1.44 WHIP) and a Rockies relief corps that ranks 28th in the Majors with a 4.96 ERA.
Logan Forsythe: Hitting leadoff, the second baseman may maximize his opportunities to reach base and score runs when he brings his lifetime .845 OPS against left-handers (.649 vs. righties) into a matchup with the southpaw De La Rosa (5.50 ERA, 1.57 WHIP in 2016) at Colorado’s offense-inducing venue.

Russell Martin: The catcher has emerged from a slow start to the season to post a .287/.388/.460 slash line since June 12. Martin could reach base often or drive in multiple runs when he brings his lifetime .806 OPS against left-handers (.735 vs. righties) into a matchup with the southpaw Corbin and a D-backs bullpen that ranks 26th in baseball with a 4.61 ERA.
Troy Tulowitzki: With an impressive lifetime .314/.398/.548 slash line against left-handers, the shortstop will be in great position to rip his 17th round-tripper of the season when he tangles with the left-handed Corbin and an unreliable D-backs relief …
