Daily Fantasy Baseball: Positive Batted-Ball Regression Candidates for Week 22
Jason Kipnis, 2B, Cleveland Indians
Long gone are the days when Jason Kipnis was a fantasy mainstay, but the Cleveland Indians' vet has shown hints of a resurgence in his recent advanced metrics. August finds the 31-year-old infielder stroking 26.2% liners and 41% hard contact, with impressive marks in his strikeout-minus-walk rate, reach rate, and swinging-strike rate.
With a FanDuel salary hovering in the mid-$2,000s, a somewhat locked-in Kipnis could pay off against soft Minnesota Twins righties Kohl Stewart and Jake Odorizzi, and he's worth a dart throw over the weekend against the hit-or-miss experiment that is the Tampa Bay Rays' staff.
