Daily Fantasy Baseball: Positive Batted-Ball Regression Candidates for Week 17
Edwin Encarnacion, DH, Cleveland Indians
At this point, you can set your clock to the yearly Edwin Encarnacion first-half slump, though the 2018 version seems to be testing our patience a bit more than usual. And while E5 may carry a rather mortal .233/.318/.484 triple-slash line into Week 17's action, the Cleveland Indians' slugger has of late been showing signs of his standard second-half vigor.
Check out that 1.0% strikeout-minus-walk rate over his last 102 plate appearances, and the 51.4% hard-contact rate over that same span. With Encarnacion drawing some very beatable arms in the Pittsburgh and Detroit rotation this week, every dollar his FanDuel salary falls below $4,000 should be considered a major bargain.
