Mike Trout, OF, Los Angeles Angels

Price: $5,000

Mike Trout is up to his usual dominant ways this season, with a .437 wOBA and .300 ISO on the year, which is right in line with his .437 wOBA and .323 ISO from 2017.

He's making some of the best contact we've ever seen from him, with a career-best 44.6% hard-hit rate to go with a 43.2% fly-ball and 15.8% soft-hit rate, and he's still plenty dangerous on the basepaths, with 22 steals on the year.

And of course, he continues to dominate righty-versus-righty matchups. Among qualifying hitters, he ranks second in wOBA (.437) and fourth in ISO (.305) against righties. That should mean big things against Bartolo Colon and the Texas Rangers tonight.

This game will go down in Texas, giving it the second-highest park factor of the day, and Colon has really struggled within the confines of Globe Life Park this year. His 4.75 xFIP at home sits well worse than his 4.57 on the road, and home games have seen him allow a .358 wOBA on a 45.2% hard-hit, 14.1% soft-hit and 34.2% fly-ball rate.
