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?

Logan Morrison, DH, Minnesota Twins

Those eager to write off the magical 2017 Logan Morrison season as a fluke have plenty to confirm their suspicions thus far in 2018, with the Minnesota Twins' slugger crawling out of the gate to a measly .151/.263/.260 triple-slash. He could be emerging from his funk, however, stinging the ball for 51.8% hard-hit rate over the past two weeks, but he has just three extra-base hits -- two of which are homers -- to show for it.

The Twins line up against a bevy of hittable righties in this week, including Marco Estrada, Carson Fulmer, and Reynaldo Lopez, and LoMo has made his hay on right-handers over the past three seasons, mashing them for a .235 isolated slugging over that span. With Morrison's FanDuel price wallowing in the low $2,000s, daily players should look to the slumbering lefty as a low-risk upside play in Week 5.
