Josh Smith Powers Rangers Past Astros, 4-3
by Matthew Adam | Rangers Correspondent | Tue, Aug 6th 6:39am EDT
Josh Smith went 1-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in the Rangers' 4-3 victory over the Astros.
Fantasy Impact:
His solo shot contributed crucially to the narrow win, marking his 12th homer of the season. Despite a modest .278 batting average, Smith's power numbers have been a reliable source of fantasy points, especially considering his position at shortstop. His ability to mix in a decent number of extra-base hits, along with a solid on-base percentage reflected in his .355 wOBA, makes him a valuable asset in most fantasy formats. However, his strikeout rate remains a concern, potentially capping his batting average upside.
