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 Friday.
Josh Donaldson: Since joining the Blue Jays at the outset of 2015, the third baseman has registered a 1.009 OPS against left-handers (.926 vs. righties) and a 1.007 OPS at his hitter-friendly home park (.876 on the road). Donaldson could reach base often or score multiple runs when he hits at home against rookie lefty Pat Dean (5.48 ERA, 1.50 WHIP) and a Twins bullpen that ranks 24th in baseball with a 4.26 ERA.
Troy Tulowitzki: The shortstop will be primed to rip his 22nd round-tripper of the season or drive in multiple runs when he brings his lifetime 141 wRC+ against left-handers (115 vs. righties) into a matchup at his offense-inducing home park against the inexperienced lefty Dean (46 career innings) and an unreliable Twins bullpen.
Russell Martin: Hitting .303 with seven homers across 99 at-bats since the All-Star break, the catcher has been a major contributor in many recent DraftKings contests. Martin could excel when he brings his lifetime .802 OPS against left-handers (.743 vs. righties) into a matchup with the left-handed Dean and a Twins squad that ranks 29th in the Majors with a .665 defensive efficiency ratio.
Mike Napoli: With 29 homers and 87 RBIs across 441 at-bats, the first baseman has been one of the most powerful players in baseball this season. Napoli could put a ball into the outfield seats when he brings his lifetime .393 wOBA against left-handers (.350 vs. righties) into a matchup against southpaw Martin Perez (career 4.24 ERA, 1.40 WHIP) at hitter-friendly Globe Life Park in Arlington.
Brandon Guyer: The outfielder could reach base often or score multiple runs when he brings his lifetime .862 OPS against left-handers (.642 vs. righties) into a matchup with the left-handed Perez (4.27 ERA, 1.41 WHIP in 2016) and a Rangers relief corps that ranks 27th in baseball with a 4.70 ERA.
Bryce Harper: Hitting .381 since Aug. 14, the reigning National League MVP has returned …
