Daily Fantasy Baseball: Positive Batted-Ball Regression Candidates for Week 23
Wil Myers, OF, San Diego Padres
Wil Myers' FanDuel salary has taken a notable dip amid a late-summer power funk that's seen him struggle to a .106 ISO since returning from the disabled list on August 13th.
But underlying stats don't show the San Diego Padres outfielder to be totally lost at the plate. The 27-year-old has managed 22.7% liners and 37.8% hard contact over that span, with solid plate discipline numbers like a 13.2% walk rate and just a 8.9% swinging strike rate.
A breather from the stifling environs at Petco Park might be just what Myers needs to get going. The Padres visit the hitter-friendly Great American Ballpark to face a deeply suspect Cincinnati Reds pitching staff (23rd in xFIP), where Myers will look to tee off against Luis Castillo, Anthony DeSclafani, Matt Harvey, and Cody Reed.
