MLB Daily Fantasy Baseball: Batted-Ball Positive Regression Candidates for Week 26
Eric Thames' recent batted-ball data suggests he could be in line for a big last week of 2017. Who else is due for some positive regression?

Efren Navarro, 1B, Detroit Tigers

Detroit Tigers first baseman Efren Navarro has been hitting the ball as well as almost anyone in the entire league over the last two weeks, posting an average exit velocity of 96.2 miles per hour (MPH), which sits third among all hitters. Navarro has two homers, a double, and a triple in that span, but he also has 9 flyouts and lineouts, suggesting he could have some positive regression headed his way if these balls stop finding gloves and start going into gaps.

Navarro is super cheap on FanDuel at $2,400, and he will see little to no ownership on large slates. With matchups against pitchers like Jason Hammel, Kyle Gibson, and Bartolo Colon, he'll make for a great GPP play this week.
