Daily Fantasy Baseball: Positive Batted-Ball Regression Candidates for Week 21
A.J. Pollock has been making a ton of great contact lately, but he isn't getting the proper results. Which other hitters are due for some positive regression?

Brian Dozier, 2B, Los Angeles Dodgers

Brian Dozier has endeared himself to his Los Angeles Dodgers teammates with many a timely hit, but his overall production for his new team has been less than stellar. The veteran infielder carries a pedestrian .200 batting average and .651 OPS over his past 58 plate appearances, with a barely-there .089 isolated slugging (ISO).

Yet the underlying numbers show Dozier to be quite assured at the dish: check out that 20.7% walk rate, 36.6% hard-hit rate, and 22% liners. Look for Dozier to settle into his Dodger blue this week against suspect pitching from the Cardinals and Padres. With his FanDuel salary hovering in the mid-$3,000s, he could be one of the better bargains in the daily game.
