- Updated: July 29, 2016
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 Friday.
Jose Altuve: With a lifetime .354/.405/.508 slash line against left-handers, the second baseman has proven to be one of the best in baseball during those matchups. Altuve could add to his impressive 2016 totals of 17 homers, 75 runs and 25 steals across 457 plate appearances when he faces lefty Matt Boyd (career 6.26 ERA, 1.46 WHIP) and a Tigers relief corps that ranks 22nd in baseball with a 4.31 ERA.
Justin Turner: Hitting .327 with 15 homers across 165 at-bats since June 7, the third baseman will bring a red-hot bat and a lifetime .358 wOBA against right-handers (.309 vs. lefties) into a matchup with righty Zack Godley (career 4.31 ERA, 1.40 WHIP) and a D-backs squad that ranks 29th in baseball with a .670 defensive efficiency ratio.

The slugger will be in great position to add to his impressive 2016 totals of 25 homers and 84 RBIs across 336 at-bats when he tangles with Angels righty Tim Lincecum (8.70 ERA, 2.30 WHIP in 2016).
Travis Shaw: The third baseman will be in great position to improve on his lifetime .269/.341/.461 slash line against right-handers when he faces the righty Lincecum, who owns a 4.86 ERA and a 1.44 WHIP since the outset of 2012.
Adam Eaton: The outfielder could have a great game when he brings his lifetime .146 ISO against right-handers (.068 vs. lefties) into a matchup with righty Ricky Nolasco (5.40 ERA, 1.41 WHIP in 2016) and a …
