Matt Olson Powers Braves Past Marlins with Solo Shot
by Chase Davis | Braves Correspondent | Fri, Aug 2nd 8:12am EDT
Matt Olson went 1-for-4 in the Braves' 4-2 victory over the Marlins, contributing significantly with a home run and two RBI.
Fantasy Impact:
His solo blast provided a crucial edge, underscoring his power-hitting capabilities despite a challenging season at the plate. Olson's batting average remains a modest .226 through 108 games, with 18 homers and 52 RBI. His consistent power numbers are a silver lining for fantasy managers, but the high strikeout rate (127 Ks) and low BABIP (.280) suggest potential volatility in his performance. Owners should continue to value his power, especially in RBI situations, but be wary of the batting average drag.
