| McDonald allowed one run on four hits in seven innings, walking two and striking out eight in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Mets. (Updated 5/23/12) STATS LLC Advice McDonald has evolved into arguably the most consistent pitcher on one of baseball's most surprising staffs. The 27-year-old who once had major issues throwing deep into games because of his command has worked into the seventh inning in five of his last six starts while becoming a legitimate strikeout pitcher. |

| Fantasy Analysis |
| McDonald has gotten off to a solid start this season as he has not allowed more than three runs in any of his nine starts. He also has a 58-to-18 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 57 1/3 innings. A lot of his success has to do with his ability to keep the ball in the park and the 27-year-old is on pace for a career campaign. Consider adding McDonald in deeper mixed leagues heading into Week 9 (May 28-June 3). His next outing is scheduled for Monday against the Reds, setting him up for two starts during the upcoming scoring period. When McDonald faced Cincinnati on May 5, he allowed one run over 6 1/3 innings in the win. (Updated 05/22/2012). |
