Manny Machado powers Padres past Dodgers with two homers
by Emily Maingi | Padres Correspondent | Wed, Jul 31st 11:00am EDT
Manny Machado went 2-for-4 in the Padres' 6-5 victory over the Dodgers, delivering two home runs and driving in two runs.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance underscores his ability to change the game with a single swing, despite a somewhat average season batting average of .262. With 18 homers now under his belt, Machado continues to be a crucial source of power for fantasy teams. However, his relatively high strikeout rate and modest walk rate suggest a volatile batting average, which could be a concern for consistency. Fantasy managers should continue to rely on him for power numbers, but temper expectations for batting average improvements.
