Tough batted-ball luck may also be sinking Joc Pederson, whose .191 BABIP over his last 76 plate appearances is likely contributing to his .200 average over that span.

Granted, a 47.1% fly-ball rate in that sample makes it hard to blame these woes solely on tough hops, but the Los Angeles Dodgers' outfielder is still stinging the ball for 46.2% hard contact over the last month, with a respectable strikeout-minus-walk rate of 7.9%, suggesting he's seeing the ball fairly well.

The Dodgers' slugger carries serious platoon splits, with a .244 career isolated slugging (ISO) against righties compared to a .126 mark against southpaws. With six righties on the schedule this week, Pederson could turn his near misses into a power binge, and with his FanDuel salary hovering in the low-$3,000s, it won't cost much to see if Pederson can get right.
