Daily Fantasy Baseball: Batted-Ball Positive Regression Candidates for Week 22
Eric Hosmer has been one of the best hitters in baseball, according to advanced data. Who else is due for some positive regression?

Eric Hosmer, 1B, Kansas City Royals

Eric Hosmer has been one of the best hitters in baseball this season, yet DFS players still don't like him. Hosmer is top-3 in the entire MLB (minimum 10 at bats) in exit velocity against right-handed pitching over the last two weeks with an average of 95.8 MPH. Despite that, the Kansas City Royals first baseman is still seeing a lot of lineouts and flyouts.

Hosmer has a chance to go on a tear this week. He'll face the likes of Austin Pruitt and Alex Cobb at home, and then will see a ballpark upgrade in Minnesota against the Twins in matchups against Kyle Gibson and Dillon Gee. He rarely sees over 5% ownership in tournaments, but will be one of the best DFS plays on the board for a good portion of this week.
