Daily Fantasy Baseball: Positive Batted-Ball Regression Candidates for Week 19
Greg Bird continues to frustrate Yankee fans and fantasy owners alike, but his underlying trends show that he could finally be turning the corner.

Jackie Bradley, OF, Boston Red Sox

Jackie Bradley has dug his way above the Mendoza line after a miserable first half at the dish, but the Boston Red Sox's outfielder still isn't exactly setting the world on fire with a .240/.313./.440 slash line in his last 83 plate appearances.

Yet the speedy center fielder is clearly seeing the ball much better of late, working a 9.6% walk rate over the last month while stroking 43.4% hard contact and minimizing his soft-hit rate to just 7.5%.

Few everyday players in the juggernaut Boston offense will come as cheap as Bradley does in daily games. He's certainly worth a look as a roster filler in Week 19, particularly when the Red Sox travel to the hitter's haven at Camden Yards over the weekend.
