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.
Paul Goldschmidt: With a lifetime .333/.437/.600 slash line against left-handers, the first baseman has proven to wield a potent bat in those matchups. Goldschmidt could display his power or reach base often when he faces southpaw Clayton Richard (career 5.75 ERA, 1.97 WHIP) and a Padres bullpen that ranks 26th in baseball with a 4.49 ERA.
Welington Castillo: As a big leaguer, the catcher has registered a .213 ISO against left-handers that exceeds his .148 mark vs. righties. Castillo could provide production at a premium position when he tangles with the left-handed Richard and an unreliable Padres bullpen.
Robinson Cano: From the No. 3 spot in the lineup, the second baseman could post a substantial DraftKings total when he brings his impressive lifetime .891 OPS against right-handers (.775 vs. lefties) into a matchup with righty Wily Peralta (career 4.28 ERA, 1.43 WHIP) and a Brewers bullpen that lacks reliable options after trading away Jeremy Jeffress and Will Smith at the non-waiver Trade Deadline.
Kyle Seager: From the heart of a Mariners lineup that ranks seventh in baseball with a .764 OPS against right-handers, the third baseman could drive in multiple runs against Peralta (6.00 ERA, 1.74 WHIP in 2016) and an unsettled Brewers bullpen. In his career, Seager has produced a 129 wRC+ against righties in comparison to a 98 mark vs. southpaws.
Devon Travis: With an overall .333/.342/.542 slash line in August, the second baseman will bring a hot bat and a lifetime .854 OPS against right-handers (.770 vs. lefties) into a matchup with Indians fly-ball-prone righty Josh Tomlin (4.14 ERA in 2016).
Edwin Encarnacion: With 34 homers and 100 RBIs across 450 at-bats, the first baseman has been arguably the most powerful player in baseball this season. Encarnacion will be in prime position to put another ball into the outfield …
