Daily Fantasy Baseball: Positive Batted-Ball Regression Candidates for Week 6
Robinson Cano, 2B, Seattle Marlins
Surface results show Robinson Cano slumbering over the past two weeks, with the star Seattle Mariners' infielder toting a pedestrian .220/.310./360 triple slash while eclipsing 9.0 FanDuel points just once (and barely) over that span.
Cano's skill metrics don't show this recent run to be utterly futile, though, with the veteran lefty stroking a respectable 37.8% hard-contact rate while working a 12.1% walk rate. Cano isn't exactly fleet of foot, but his .227 batting average on balls in play still seems unnaturally depressed.
Expect Cano's luck to change in Week 6, when the Mariners travel away from hitter-hostile Safeco to face a number of hittable righties, including Marcus Stroman, Michael Fulmer, and Jordan Zimmermann.
