Daily Fantasy Baseball: Positive Batted-Ball Regression Candidates for Week 12
Matt Olson, 1B, Oakland Athletics
Feast-or-famine slugger Matt Olson looks like a prime mid-priced option in Week 12. His .220 batting average over his last 111 plate appearances comes on the back of an exceptionally low .231 batting average on balls in play (BABIP), leaving his FanDuel salary to flat line in the low-$3,000s despite his .250 isolated slugging over that span.
The Oakland Athletics' bopper should be poised for a productive week, with the A's slated to square off against mashable righties like Lucas Giolito, James Shields, Dylan Covey, and Carlos Rodon. His schedule should make him a popular play this week, but his evident upside and low salary are simply too good to pass up.
