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 Tuesday.
David Ortiz: The left-handed-hitting slugger will be primed to rip a round-tripper when he brings his impressive lifetime .308 ISO against right-handers (.211 vs. lefties) into a matchup at hitter-friendly Camden Yards against Orioles righty Yovani Gallardo (5.17 ERA, 1.60 WHIP in 2016). Also working in Ortiz’s favor: Baltimore’s venue has proved to be especially homer-happy for lefty sluggers.
Anthony Rizzo: From the heart of a talent-laden Cubs lineup, the first baseman could produce a substantial DraftKings total when he takes his lifetime .874 OPS against right-handers (.780 vs. lefties) into a matchup with righty Chase Anderson (4.93 ERA, 1.41 WHIP in 2016) and a Brewers bullpen that lacks reliable options after trading away Jeremy Jeffress and Will Smith in late July.
Addison Russell: The second-year shortstop owns notable lifetime splits, with a .760 OPS against right-handers compared with a .597 mark vs. lefties. As part of a Cubs lineup that ranks third in baseball with 589 runs scored, Russell could excel against the right-handed Anderson (career 4.40 ERA, 1.35 WHIP) and an unsettled Brewers bullpen.
Bryce Harper: Hitting .143 since the All-Star break, the reigning National League MVP could have a reduced price tag in DraftKings contests when he brings his impressive lifetime .937 OPS against right-handers (.773 vs. lefties) into a matchup at homer-happy Coors Field against righty Chad Bettis (career 5.24 ERA, 1.53 WHIP) and a Rockies relief corps that ranks 28th in the Majors with a 4.85 ERA.
Daniel Murphy: Hitting .348 with 22 homers and 86 RBIs across 411 at-bats, the second baseman has been one of the most productive players in baseball this season. Murphy could put a ball into the outfield seats or drive in multiple runs when he brings his lifetime .809 OPS against right-handers (.705 vs. lefties) into a matchup with the right-handed Bettis (5.27 ERA, 1.47 WHIP in 2016) …
