Daily Fantasy Baseball: Batted-Ball Positive Regression Candidates for Week 16
Christian Yelich is hitting the ball hard, but seeing few results. Which other temporarily unlucky MLB hitters should you target in DFS?

Logan Forsythe, 2B, Los Angeles Dodgers

I've discussed Logan Forsythe before, and he's still hitting the ball well, but isn't getting the results fantasy players like to see. Over the weekend, his average exit velocity on 9 batted balls was 94.9 MPH. five of which traveled 344 feet or farther...but all of them were either flyouts or lineouts. His 77.8% hard-contact rate over the weekend was the best in the MLB during that span, and even though it's a small sample size, it's definitely something to monitor.

Forsythe is just missing these going for extra bases and if he keeps hitting the ball this well, he makes for a great cheap option on FanDuel. He'll even get a ballpark bump playing in Chicago for a three game series against the White Sox early in the week.
