Daily Fantasy Baseball: Positive Batted-Ball Regression Candidates for Week 26
Cody Bellinger has been left out of the Dodgers' recent hot streak, but his advanced statistics indicate he should join the party in Week 26.

Recent batted-ball data can be very useful in MLB DFS, allowing us to notice the players who are seeing the ball well and hitting the ball with authority yet coming up short on results. Remember, your fantasy opponents may be paying attention to only counting stats like runs and RBIs or ratios like batting average and slugging percentage, which hardly tell the complete story of a hitter's performance. This is a major market inefficiency in daily fantasy, one that is easy to exploit with a look at the underlying stats.

In this article, we'll examine recent batted-ball data to highlight players whose surface results are lagging behind their actual skills metrics (per FanGraphs), potentially putting them right on the edge of a productive hot streak that could pay huge dividends for daily fantasy players who roster them at a relative discount.
