Matt Olson Powers Up, Braves Fall Short
by Chase Davis | Braves Correspondent | Fri, Aug 30th 8:53am EDT
Matt Olson went 2-for-4 in the loss to the Phillies with two home runs, two runs scored, and three RBI.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite Olson's power display, his season-long batting average remains a modest .234, which might be a concern for fantasy managers banking on him for batting average points. However, his 25 home runs and 76 RBI are valuable contributions in power categories. Olson's high strikeout rate continues to be a drag on his overall fantasy value, but his ability to change the game with one swing keeps him relevant in all fantasy formats. His consistent power numbers should keep him in the starting lineups, especially in leagues that value home runs and RBI.
