Daily Fantasy Baseball: Positive Batted-Ball Regression Candidates for Week 15
Struggling Brewers slugger Travis Shaw has strong peripherals in his recent sample and gets plenty of righties to mash in Week 15.

Jake Bauers, 1B, Tampa Bay Rays

Tampa Bay Rays rookie Jake Bauers has comported himself well in his first taste of the show, with an unremarkable .240 average masking a .220 ISO and 16.5% walk rate in his first 121 plate appearances.

His team-context stats don't jump off the page (just 27 combined runs and RBIs), which might explain why his FanDuel salary continues to wallow below $3,000, but what should catch your eye is a terrific 47.2% hard-hit rate with 26.4% liners.

The first-year lefty gets some beatable right-handed pitching in Week 15, including Jordan Zimmermann, Kyle Gibson, and Jake Odorizzi. It won't cost much to see if the Rays' rook can make a splash before the break.
