Daily Fantasy Baseball: Positive Batted-Ball Regression Candidates for Week 2

Francisco Lindor, SS, Cleveland Indians

Cleveland Indians infielder Francisco Lindor has been giving the ball some serious sting in the season's opening weeks, but his 39.3% hard contact rate has not thus far translated to strong overall numbers, with his batting average stalling at .194 and his on base plus slugging (OPS) at a mere .497.

Such middling surface ratios should keep his salary around $4,000 in Week 2, making this potentially elite stick a strong lineup building block as he squares off against mortal lefties like Francisco Liriano, Matt Boyd, and Jaime Garcia. Lindor has been a menace to southpaws over the last calendar year, hitting for a .304 batting average and .210 isolated power in the split, so we might soon see him turn his hard hitting into productive results.
