Matt Olson powers Braves past Yankees, 8-1
by Chris Schommer | Braves Correspondent | Sat, Jun 22nd 5:04am EDT
Matt Olson went 2-for-5 in the Braves' dominant 8-1 victory over the Yankees, including a home run, two RBI, and two runs scored.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance is a bright spot in what has been a somewhat average season for Olson, considering his .254 batting average and .340 wOBA. His power continues to be his main fantasy asset, as evidenced by his 12th homer of the season. While his strikeout rate remains high at 0.257, limiting his batting average, Olson's ability to drive in runs (40 RBI in 73 games) and score (35 runs) keeps him relevant in most fantasy formats. Fantasy managers should continue to value him for his power potential, despite the batting average risk.
