Daily Fantasy Baseball: Positive Batted-Ball Regression Candidates for Week 8
Adrian Gonzalez is in the midst of a minor power resurgence, and the advanced stats say his results should be even better. Which other hitters could show positive regression in Week 8?

Neil Walker, 2B, New York Yankees

The New York Yankees' offense is a hot-hitting party, but it doesn't seem like anyone invited Neil Walker, who is slashing a paltry .211/.298/.257 across 124 plate appearances.

To be fair, Walker hasn't exactly been a slouch: his 40.0% hard-hit rate would mark a career high, with a .408 expected slugging that indicates better times may be ahead for the veteran infielder. Walker's respectable .178 career isolated slugging against right handers makes him a solid low-cost option this week against the likes of Nick Tropeano, Bartolo Colon, and Doug Fister.
