5 FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Studs to Target on 6/24/16
Josh Donaldson, 3B, Toronto Blue Jays
FanDuel Price: $4,500
You know the rule by now -- if Josh Donaldson is facing a lefty, he’s automatically in consideration for any FanDuel format. Take a look at his career splits:
| Career splits | ISO | wOBA | HR % | BB % | K % | Hard Hit % |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| vs LHP | 0.293 | 0.413 | 6.8 | 12.0 | 14.5 | 37.1 |
| vs RHP | 0.198 | 0.355 | 4.4 | 10.1 | 20.0 | 33.3 |
While his splits have evened out some this year, it’s not at the expense of his lefty dominance -- he’s posted a .227 ISO, .420 wOBA, and 41.8 percent hard-hit rate.
He’ll face Carlos Rodon tonight, who has struggled mightily against right-handed hitters this season. He’s allowed 10 home runs, a .169 ISO, .361 wOBA, and his strikeout percentage split is seven points lower at 20.1 percent.
You should always consider Donaldson when facing a southpaw, but the matchup tonight nearly makes him a must-play.
