Daily Fantasy Baseball: Batted-Ball Positive Regression Candidates for Week 19
Lorenzo Cain, OF, Kansas City Royals
Over the last 14 days, Lorenzo Cain has only one home run despite hitting the ball extremely hard -- his average exit velocity of 92.8 mph during this time has a whopping 11 different exit velocities on batted balls over 105 mph. Cain goes overlooked a lot, but makes for a great play when he's hitting the ball this well.
Cain and the Kansas City Royals will face a group of average pitchers in St. Louis early this week and then will get a positive park shift in Chicago vs. the White Sox. There, the outfielder will bat in the middle of the lineup against James Shields, Mike Pelfrey, and Derek Holland.
