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?

Matt Carpenter, 3B, St. Louis Cardinals

Matt Carpenter remains frustratingly futile at the dish, at least in terms of surface stats, with the St. Louis Cardinals' utility man scratching out a paltry ,462 OPS over the past two weeks despite 40.7% hard-contact clip and 29.6% line-drive rate.

His .190 BABIP on the season has to turn at some point, and Week 5 dates against mortal righties like James Shields, Lucas Giolito, and Tyler Chatwood could be just what the doctor ordered. Carp owns a career .864 OPS against right-handers, making him a strong mid-priced play for Week 5.
