Daily Fantasy Baseball: Positive Batted-Ball Regression Candidates for Week 17

Brandon Crawford, SS, San Francisco Giants

We've seen quite a Jeckyll and Hyde routine from Brandon Crawford this season. The veteran infielder worked an insanely gaudy .372/.436/.602 slash line through 218 plate appearances in May and June, only to inevitably fall off the map in July, slashing .161/.288/.196 since the calendar turned.

True talent for the San Francisco Giants' shortstop probably lies somewhere in the middle. After all, Crawford is still managing 36.6% hard contact and 29.3% liners in the July sample, with a .220 batting average on balls in play (BABIP) that suggests a fair bit of misfortune in his recent slump.

With Crawford's FanDuel salary on the wane and some suspect Brewers pitching on tap, the Giants' infielder figures to be a quality lineup filler in Week 17.
