Bryce Harper has a potential third-spot in the batting order and has been slugging .667 in his last 115 plate appearances against soft-throwing right-handed pitchers like Kluber over the past two seasons. Another lefty swinger, Kyle Schwarber, has a potential first-spot and has been slugging .608 in his last 120 plate appearances against right-handed pitchers with a similar repertoire to Kluber over the past two seasons. Meanwhile, Trea Turner has a potential second-spot and has slugged .450 in 640 at-bats when hitting at home over the last year.
Other notable Phillies hitters include Nick Castellanos, who has an OPS of 1.012 in his last 52 plate appearances, and J.T. Realmuto, who batted .290 when hitting at home over the last year. Brandon Marsh has a favorable but limited matchup, while Bryson Stott, Alec Bohm, Edmundo Sosa, Josh Harrison, Garrett Stubbs, Kody Clemens, and Dalton Guthrie could be used as low-owned value plays to differentiate DFS lineups in tournaments.
