Daily Fantasy Baseball: Positive Batted-Ball Regression Candidates for Week 11
Salvador Perez, C, Kansas City Royals
Salvador Perez has certainly flashed some power over the last month, sending six balls over the fence to compile a decent .209 isolated slugging percentage. Even so, he's been one of the unluckiest hitters in the majors over that span, with a 48.4% hard-contact rate offset by a super low .184 batting average on balls in play (BABIP), resulting in a lackluster .200/.261/.409 slash line over his last 119 plate appearances.
Look for the Kansas City Royals' backstop to slug his way back to respectability this week against Cincinnati Reds no-namers Sal Romano and Tyler Mahle, and with his salary hovering in the low $3,000s, he makes for a sneaky contrarian play against those tough Houston Astros arms over the weekend.
