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.

​Kole Calhoun, OF, Los Angeles Angels

Kole Calhoun has had one of the weirdest seasons in modern memory, with an improbably torrid summer streak sandwiched between periods of absolute futility at the dish.

After compiling a .917 OPS from June through August, the Los Angeles Angels outfielder once against looks like one of the worst regulars in baseball, slashing .100/.247/.186 across 85 September plate appearances.

Yet his advanced metrics don't look a heck of a lot different from when he was setting the league ablaze over the summer. Calhoun carries a 45.5% hard-contact rate on the current month, with a respectable 22.7% liners and 16.5% walks.

Calhoun's FanDuel salary has plummeted all the way down near $3,000, so it won't cost daily players much to see if the lefty-hitting outfielder can flip the switch one last time. The Angels line up against righties like Adrian Sampson, Ariel Jurado, Mike Fiers, and Trevor Cahill, and LA has been a top-seven producer against right handers in the second half (110 wRC+).
