Matt Olson's double helps Braves edge Nationals 4-2

Matt Olson contributed to the Braves' 4-2 victory over the Nationals with a modest yet effective performance.
Fantasy Impact:
Matt Olson went 1-for-3 with a double, a run scored, an RBI, and a walk. While this performance might not jump off the page, it's a positive sign for fantasy managers who have been enduring Olson's struggle with a low .225 batting average this season. His ability to drive in runs and score remains intact, evidenced by his 65 RBI and 57 runs scored over 129 games. However, his high strikeout rate and relatively low wOBA suggest that expecting a significant uptick in performance might be overly optimistic. Olson remains a power threat with 21 homers, but fantasy managers should temper expectations given his batting inconsistencies this year.
