J.D. Martinez has been playing at a high level recently, posting a .381 average with a .786 slugging percentage and a 1.220 OPS over his last 10 games. He owns 8 extra-base hits (4 home runs) and 12 RBIs over that span, as well. Martinez also boasts 46% hard hit and 41% fly ball rates to go along with a 93 MPH exit velocity over the last 15 days. He gets somewhat of a difficult matchup against James Paxton, but he’ll be playing in one of the most hitter friendly stadiums in the MLB tonight. Martinez also brings 0.156 wOBA and 0.248 ISO differentials against left-handed pitching into this game. He’s expected to hit fourth in the Boston Red Sox lineup, and he should see plenty of opportunities to score fantasy points in this game.
Josh Donaldson is another player that has been playing well recently. He is hitting for a .279 average with a .581 slugging percentage and a .893 OPS over his last 10 games. He has also recorded 7 extra-base hits (3 home runs) and 10 RBIs in those games. Most importantly, Donaldson enters this game with 54% hard hit and 48% fly ball rates to go along with a 98 MPH exit velocity over the last 15 days. He gets a plus matchup against Alex Wood, and brings a 0.022 ISO differential against left-handed pitching into this game. Donaldson will also be playing in Atlanta, where he boasts a .281/.605/1.022 line in 2019. This is roughly the highest I would play over on Donaldson, but it’s still low enough to be considered on this slate.
