Aaron Judge is the clear top bat in the league over the last week (355 wRC+, 6 HRs)

The two hottest batters in the majors both play for New York. It's not often that the highest wRC+ marks (10 PA min.) match up with HR leaders, but there is no doubt about the top guy over the last week. Aaron Judge (355 wRC+, 61.1 Hard%, six HRs) has a two HR lead on the rest of the majors and has hit three over the last two days. He's got Blake Snell tonight, who has done league average work against RHBs (.323 wOBA, 43.1 GB%, 33.3 Hard%). Travis D'arnaud (314 wRC+, 31.3 Hard%, four HRs) is now up to a .195 ISO on the season vs RHP. R.A. Dickey's knuckleball is either working or it's not. It was last time out against Washington, it wasn't the time before that when he didn't strike out a single Met. RHBs have a .352 wOBA with a 30.1 Hard% against Dickey this year.

Efren Navarro (255 wRC+, 71.4 Hard%, two HRs) has walked or struck out in 58.8% of his 17 PAs, but his week remains eye opening. Since he's unlikely to play against Jason Vargas in a lefty on lefty matchup though, there is one other batter with a hard hit rate more than two-thirds of batted balls. Mookie Betts (173 wRC+, 68.8 Hard%, one HR) is in a marginal spot against J.A. Happ (RHBs .320 wOBA, 28.3 Hard%).
