Daily Fantasy Baseball: Positive Batted-Ball Regression Candidates for Week 17
His overall numbers may look drab, but Ketel Marte's skill metrics have been trending in the right direction.

Edwin Encarnacion, DH, Cleveland Indians

At this point, you can set your clock to the yearly Edwin Encarnacion first-half slump, though the 2018 version seems to be testing our patience a bit more than usual. And while E5 may carry a rather mortal .233/.318/.484 triple-slash line into Week 17's action, the Cleveland Indians' slugger has of late been showing signs of his standard second-half vigor.

Check out that 1.0% strikeout-minus-walk rate over his last 102 plate appearances, and the 51.4% hard-contact rate over that same span. With Encarnacion drawing some very beatable arms in the Pittsburgh and Detroit rotation this week, every dollar his FanDuel salary falls below $4,000 should be considered a major bargain.
