Werth, Ramos, Ozuna could mash Monday
- Updated: August 15, 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 Monday.
Jayson Werth: As a big leaguer, the outfielder has produced a 148 wRC+ against left-handers that exceeds his 113 mark vs. righties. Werth could have a great game when he visits offense-inducing Coors Field to tangle with southpaw Jorge De La Rosa (career 4.60 ERA, 1.44 WHIP) and a Rockies squad that ranks 28th in the Majors with a .673 defensive efficiency ratio.
Wilson Ramos: Hitting .332 with 18 homers and 63 RBIs across 352 at-bats, Ramos has been the most productive player at his premium position this season. The catcher could thrive against De La Rosa, who in his career has allowed right-handed hitters such as Ramos to post a .796 OPS (.644 OPS allowed to lefty batters).
Danny Espinosa: The shortstop could provide cost-effective production at a premium position when he brings his solid lifetime .789 OPS against left-handers (.665 vs. righties) into a matchup with the left-handed De La Rosa (5.25 ERA, 1.59 WHIP in 2016) and a Rockies relief corps that ranks 28th in baseball with a 4.88 ERA.
Marcell Ozuna: Hitting .280 with 19 homers and 59 RBIs across 421 at-bats, the outfielder is in the midst of a breakout season. Ozuna could display his power when he vacates his pitcher-friendly home park and brings his lifetime .868 OPS against left-handers (.719 vs. righties) into a matchup with southpaw Brandon Finnegan (career 4.45 ERA, 1.40 WHIP) and a Reds relief corps that ranks last in baseball with a 5.09 ERA.
Adeiny Hechavarria: Hitting .247 with three homers and one steal across 416 plate appearances, the shortstop could have a reasonable price tag in DraftKings contests when he brings his lifetime 87 wRC+ against left-handers (66 vs. righties) into a matchup with the left-handed Finnegan (4.45 ERA, 1.40 WHIP in 2016) and an unreliable Reds bullpen.
