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.
Christian Yelich: Hitting .323 with a .393 on-base percentage, the outfielder could reach base often or display his power when he brings his lifetime .837 OPS against right-handers (.703 vs. lefties) into a matchup with White Sox fly-ball-prone righty James Shields (5.43 ERA, 1.7 HR/9 rate in 2016).
Jake Lamb: In his breakout 2016 season, the third baseman has produced an impressive .991 OPS against right-handers in comparison to a .665 mark vs. lefties. Lamb could have a great game when he faces Red Sox righty Clay Buchholz, who has a 6.31 ERA when working as a starter this season.
