An MVP darkhorse in the first half, Jean Segura has, like the playoff hopes of his Seattle Mariners, been on a downward spiral since the All Star Break. The 28-year old infielder carries a miserable .639 OPS in the second half, with just seven extra-base hits in 209 plate appearances.

Segura's absolutely bottomed out in September, with a nearly invisible .016 ISO on the month. A 19.7% hard contact rate over that span is hardly reassuring, but we might take solace in his slim 11.5% soft contact, to say nothing of a mere 5% swinging strikes and 4.2% strikeouts overall.

We might be running out of time for Segura's alarmingly low .200 BABIP on the month to significantly correct, but the contact-hitting speedster is set up to save some face in the season's final week against very hittable righties like Brett Anderson, Yovani Gallardo, Adrian Sampson, and Edwin Jackson. A low-$3,000 FanDuel salary makes the one-time fantasy mainstay into an intriguing roster filler this week.
