Daily Fantasy Baseball: Positive Batted-Ball Regression Candidates for Week 23
Yolmer Sanchez, 3B, Chicago White Sox
Despite a dire .038 ISO in his last 67 plate appearances, Yolmer Sanchez has managed to be fairly productive for the Chicago White Sox, thanks in large part to his remarkable 17.9% walk rate in that span. Sanchez has only managed two hits for extra bases since mid-August, yet he's actually stroked the ball to the tune of a 35.7% hard-hit rate and 29.3% line-drive rate in that sample.
The Chicago White Sox are usually a lineup that we're targeting for pitching matchups in the daily game, not one we're mining for offensive production, but with Sanchez starting the bulk of Sox games out of the one- or two-hole yet rarely eclipsing a $3,000 salary on FanDuel, the 26-year-old provides a cheap ticket to volume at-bats.
