Daily Fantasy Baseball: Positive Batted-Ball Regression Candidates for Week 5
Logan Morrison's quality contact could finally turn into strong fantasy results as he squares off against a host of hittable righties this week. Which other hitters might be on the verge of catching fire for daily fantasy players in Week 5?

Ian Kinsler, 2B, Los Angeles Angels

Ian Kinsler got a late start to his 2018, and the Los Angeles Angels' infielder hasn't quite found his groove thus far, scuffling to a .242/.292/.293 triple-slash in his first 65 plate appearances. Kinsler's batted-ball profile is a little light on hard contact (25% hard-hit rate, compared to a career 29.4% mark), but you have to like that his batting eye is sharp as ever, with the veteran maintaining a slender 21.4% chase rate and a barely-there 2.5% swinging-strike rate.

Look for Kinsler to get comfortable and contribute in Week 5, as the Angels face off against middling arms like Alex Cobb, Chris Tillman, Mike Leake, and Marco Gonzales. Kinsler isn't especially rich with upside, but with his salary in the low $3,000s and the Angels' offense firing on all cylinders, he makes for a solid roster filler.
