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?

Luis Valbuena, 3B, Los Angeles Angels

An unexpected name near the top of the recent hard-hit leaderboard is Los Angeles Angels infielder Luis Valbuena, who has stung 53.1% hard contact over the last month, yet he's come away with just a .719 OPS over that span.

Granted, striking out at a 35.6% clip tends to deflate one's production, but Valbuena is doing too much damage to the baseball when he does make contact (25.0% liners and a mere 8.2% soft-contact clip since late May) to remain totally useless to daily players. The Angels' utilityman makes for a worthy roster filler as he enters Week 13 with a FanDuel salary in the mid-$2,000s and dates lined up at the hitter-friendly venues of Fenway Park and Camden Yards.
