Daily Fantasy Baseball: Positive Batted-Ball Regression Candidates for Week 13
Mike Moustakas' production has been slipping, but his skill metrics still look very strong. Which other hitters are primed to bounce back in Week 13?

Kyle Seager, 3B, Seattle Mariners

Shrewd season-long players know that Kyle Seager is the kind of unassuming veteran who rarely distinguishes himself yet always winds up with a solid fantasy line at the end of the season. Daily players might be a little less convinced of his utility, though, with Seager struggling to a .252 on-base percentage over the past month, with just 10 total extra-base hits against 31 strikeouts.

With Seager's FanDuel salary in a tailspin, now might be the time to zig while others zag. Seager's 32.9% hard-contact rate across the last month isn't exactly eye-popping, but there's just 5.3% soft contact in that sample, so Seager isn't exactly flailing away at the dish.

The schedule in Week 13 is extremely kind to the Seattle Mariners' lefty: Seager carries a stout .801 career OPS against right-handed pitching, and the Mariners line up against a bevy of low-rent righties, including Andrew Cashner, Alex Cobb, and Ian Kennedy.
