EDGE Analysis

Stanton had a strong finish to an otherwise forgettable first half, carrying a seven game hitting streak into the break and then mashing his way to a Home Run Derby crown. He picked up right where he left off before All-Star festivities as Stanton continues to push his .238/.335/.500 slash line back to respectability. THe lumbering outfielder has slugged five home runs over what is now an eight game hit-streak and is up to 41 runs scored and 51 RBI on the year.
