Josh Donaldson, 3B, Toronto Blue Jays

FanDuel Price: 4,700

Josh Donaldson is tearing apart the American League -- again.

After winning the AL MVP award last season, he's been even better in 2015.


wOBA Walk Rate Hard-Hit Rate
2015 .398 10.3% 37.3%
2016 .416 15.1% 41.9%


Donaldson torched everything in June, racking up a .489 wOBA with a 43.0% hard-hit rate. He's been even better through 24 plate appearances in July, sporting an absurd .506 wOBA.

He gets a home matchup tonight with Kansas City Royals' righty Chris Young. Donaldson has posted a .431 wOBA and 45.0% hard-hit rate this year at the Rogers Centre, which ranks seventh in home run factor, and he's put up a .405 wOBA versus right-handers.

Young has been throwing batting practicing, allowing a massive 42.9% hard-hit rate. He owns a 4.71 SIERA and 11.2% walk rate. The Jays' implied total of 5.33 runs is Tuesday's highest clip.
