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 Sunday.
Curtis Granderson: Hitting leadoff, Granderson could maximize his opportunities to reach base and score runs when he brings his lifetime 129 wRC+ against right-handers (87 vs. lefties) into a matchup with righty Anibal Sanchez (6.26 ERA, 1.63 WHIP in 2016) and a Tigers bullpen that ranks 22nd in baseball with a 4.14 ERA.
Neil Walker: The second baseman has long fared best vs. right-handers, against whom he has posted a lifetime .793 OPS (.683 vs. lefties). Walker could provide production at a premium position when he tangles with the right-handed Sanchez (5.48 ERA since the outset of 2015) and an unreliable Tigers bullpen.
Jay Bruce: As a big leaguer, the outfielder has registered a 115 wRC+ against right-handers that exceeds his 91 mark vs. lefties. Bruce could impress his new teammates by going deep or driving in multiple runs when he faces the right-handed Sanchez and a shaky Tigers bullpen.
Brad Miller: The shortstop owns notable lifetime splits, with a 115 wRC+ against right-handers in comparison to a 66 mark vs. lefties. Miller could provide production at a premium position when he faces righty Kyle Gibson (career 4.51 ERA, 1.37 WHIP) and a Twins bullpen that ranks 26th in the Majors with a 4.50 ERA.
Jake Lamb: In his breakout 2016 season, Lamb has posted an impressive 1.002 OPS against right-handers (.701 vs. lefties) and a 1.010 OPS at his hitter-friendly home park (.871 on the road). The third baseman could continue to rake when he hits at home against Brewers righty Jimmy Nelson (4.80 FIP, 1.45 WHIP in 2016), who in his career has allowed left-handed hitters such as Lamb to post an .824 OPS (.650 OPS allowed to righty batters).
Scooter Gennett: The second baseman owns lopsided lifetime splits, with a 109 wRC+ against right-handers that exceeds his 29 mark vs. lefties. Gennett could provide cost-effective production at a premium position when he …
