Josh Donaldson, 3B, Toronto Blue Jays

FanDuel Price: $5,400

FanDuel tried its best to scare you off Josh Donaldson, making him so darn expensive, but he's still someone you're going to want to try to get in the lineup. With a massive projected point total of 20.23 points, he's our top-ranked hitter for his road matchup with Arizona Diamondbacks' righty Zack Godley.

Godley is in a really bad spot. Not only is he not very good -- 4.91 SIERA, 14.7% whiff rate and 10.3% walk rate -- but he's facing one of baseball's top offenses in a hitter-friendly environment. Toronto checks in sixth in wOBA at .333, and Chase Field ranks fifth in park factor.

Donaldson is putting up better numbers than he did a year ago, when he took home American League MVP honors. He owns a .421 wOBA and 15.3% walk rate, both of which are career-best clips. He's sporting a .415 wOBA with 19 taters against right-handed pitching, and he's racked up a 46.5% hard-hit hate in July.

The Blue Jays boast an implied total of 5.13 runs and figure to be a heavily targeted team tonight.
