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.
