Daily Fantasy Baseball: Positive Batted-Ball Regression Candidates for Week 2

Jesus Aguilar, 1B, Milwaukee Brewers

If Jesus Aguilar hopes to replicate his unfathomable breakout from 2018, he'll need to get some extra-base hits on the board first. The late-blooming Brewers' slugger has a mere three singles to his name thus far in 2019, though a 40.9% hard-contact rate with 27.3% liners hints at more power production to come. Indeed, Aguilar's .374 xSLG, per Statcast, isn't exactly Ruthian, but it's a notable uptick from his actual mark of .148.

Look for Aguilar to edge toward respectability against that rag tag Angels rotation early in the week, and daily players might even give him a look as a contrarian play against tough lefties Hyun-jin Ryu and Julio Urias over the weekend. The 28-year-old stroked an excellent .929 OPS across 153 plate appearances against southpaws in 2018.
