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 Saturday.
Mike Napoli: With 22 homers across 355 at-bats, the outfielder has been one of the most powerful players in the American League this season. Napoli could go deep or drive in multiple runs when he brings his lifetime .910 OPS vs. left-handers (.803 vs. righties) into a matchup with A’s rookie southpaw Dillon Overton (8.40 ERA, 1.93 WHIP in three starts).
Francisco Lindor: Hitting .306 with 12 homers, 68 runs and 13 steals across 431 plate appearances, the second-year shortstop has been one of the most productive players at his premium position this season.

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 .822 OPS against right-handers (.699 vs. lefties) into a matchup with rookie righty Braden Shipley (one career start) and a D-backs squad that ranks 29th in baseball with a .670 defensive efficiency ratio.
Adrian Gonzalez: With nine homers across 360 at-bats this season, the first baseman could have a reduced price tag in DraftKings contests when he brings his lifetime .224 ISO against right-handers (.156 vs. lefties) into a matchup with the inexperienced righty Shipley and a D-backs bullpen that ranks 27th in the Majors with a 4.62 ERA.
Bryce Harper: Since the outset of last season, the outfielder has produced a lofty .300/.444/.602 slash line against right-handers. Harper may be worth a major investment in DraftKings contests when he faces the right-handed Jake Peavy, who has a 4.41 FIP in 2016.
Wilmer Flores: With a lifetime .780 OPS against left-handers that exceeds his .665 mark vs. …
