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.
Joey Votto: With an overall .468/.575/.710 slash line since the All-Star break, the first baseman will bring a red-hot bat and an impressive lifetime .315/.435/.545 slash line against right-handers into a matchup with Pirates righty Ivan Nova (career 4.41 ERA, 1.39 WHIP).
Ryan Braun: With a lifetime .337/.405/.624 slash line against left-handers, the outfielder has proven to be one of the best in baseball during those matchups. Braun could post a game-changing DraftKings total when he bats at hitter-friendly Chase Field against southpaw Patrick Corbin (5.30 ERA, 1.57 WHIP in 2016) and a D-backs bullpen that ranks 29th in baseball with a 5.10 ERA.
Jake Lamb: In his breakout 2016 season, the third baseman has posted an impressive 1.013 OPS against right-handers (.701 vs. lefties) and a 1.027 OPS at his hitter-friendly home park (.871 on the road). Lamb could continue to rake when he hits at home against Brewers righty Matt Garza (5.32 ERA, 1.61 WHIP in 2016).
Bryce Harper: Since the outset of last season, the reigning National League MVP has posted an impressive .299/.444/.596 slash line against right-handers. On Saturday, Harper could provide elite production in DraftKings contests when he tangles with Giants righty Matt Cain (5.53 ERA, 1.50 WHIP in 2016).
Daniel Murphy: Hitting .358 with 21 homers and 80 RBIs across 386 at-bats, the second baseman has been one of the most productive players in the Senior Circuit this season. Batting behind Harper, Murphy could drive in multiple runs when he brings his lifetime .348 wOBA against right-handers (.308 vs. lefties) into a matchup with the right-handed Cain (5.65 ERA, 1.50 WHIP since the outset of 2015).
