Daily Fantasy Baseball: Positive Batted-Ball Regression Candidates for Week 13
Mike Moustakas, 3B, Kansas City Royals
Mike Moustakas' 14 longballs have him pacing well behind the 38 homers that made him a standout in 2018. Indeed, the meat of his .255/.312/.463 triple slash on the season is front-loaded, with the Kansas City Royals' slugger struggling to a .200/.267/.358 line over his past 105 plate appearances, leaving his FanDuel salary to hover steadily below $4,000 for the first time since early May.
Daily players should pounce on that value in Week 13 as Moose is showing tremendous peripherals over the last month (45.0% hard-hit rate and 26.6% liners) despite the so-so results. Earmark Moustakas as an excellent mid-priced play against beatable righties like Felix Pena, Freddy Peralta, and Felix Hernandez.
