Bryant, Cruz, Strasburg set to dazzle

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.

Jason Kipnis: From the No. 2 spot in an Indians lineup that ranks eight in the Majors with a .769 OPS against righties, Kipnis could excel when he brings his lifetime 127 wRC+ against right-handers (87 vs. lefties) into a matchup with righty Jose Berrios (10.20 ERA, 2.13 WHIP in four career starts) and a Twins bullpen that ranks 23rd in the Majors with a 4.32 ERA.

He could be part of a productive lineup, as the Cubs rank fifth in the Majors with a .799 OPS against lefties.

Kris Bryant: During his powerful 2016 season (26 homers, 68 RBIs across 388 at-bats), the third baseman has posted an impressive 1.034 OPS against left-handers in comparison to an .895 mark vs. righties. From the heart of a talented Cubs lineup, Bryant could post a substantial DraftKings total when he faces the left-handed Conley (career 1.30 WHIP).

Bryce Harper: Since the outset of 2015, the outfielder has registered a lofty …
