Josh Donaldson, 3B, Toronto Blue Jays

Price: $3,900

Among the starting pitchers on Tuesday's main slate, Miguel Gonzalez had the third-worst SIERA in 2017 at 5.39. He also gave up the 22nd-highest batted-ball distance among the 280 players who threw at least 1,000 pitches, and the 32.5% hard-hit rate he allowed was a career-high.

With numbers like that, it comes as little surprise that the Toronto Blue Jays' 5.12-run implied total is Tuesday's highest.

Any time the Toronto offense is in a spot like this, Josh Donaldson is worth a long, hard look in fantasy. Among the 11 Jays hitters who saw at least 250 plate appearances last year, Donaldson ranked first by a big margin in both wOBA (.396) and ISO (.289). That production also came with a strong batted-ball profile, which included a 36.3% hard-hit and 45.5% fly-ball rate.
