Matt Olson has quiet night at the plate

Matt Olson went 2-for-4 in the Braves' 2-1 victory over the Royals.

Fantasy Impact

Despite not contributing to the runs or RBIs, Olson managed to notch a couple of hits, which could help maintain his batting average, currently sitting at .247 for the season. With 29 homers and 98 RBIs this year, Olson remains a significant power threat, although his high strikeout rate (166 strikeouts) continues to be a concern for fantasy managers. His consistent power numbers and ability to get on base (.339 wOBA) keep him relevant in fantasy lineups, but the lack of multi-category contributions in games like today's shows some of the limitations in his fantasy impact.

Matt Olson had a productive day at the plate as the Braves topped the Marlins 6-2.

Fantasy Impact

Olson went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI, and a run scored, also drawing a walk. This performance underscores his power-hitting capabilities, as his home run tally for the season climbs to 29. Despite a batting average that might not dazzle (.243), Olson's ability to drive in runs (97 RBI) and his consistent power (37 doubles, 29 homers) keep him as a valuable asset in fantasy lineups. His walk rate and wOBA indicate a solid understanding of the strike zone, which suggests potential for sustained production as the season winds down.

Matt Olson Powers Braves Past Reds

Matt Olson went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in the Braves' 15-3 rout of the Reds.

Fantasy Impact

Olson's performance was a bright spot, showcasing his power-hitting capabilities with two homers contributing significantly to the team's offensive explosion. This game elevates his season home run tally to 28 and RBI count to 94, reinforcing his role as a key run producer for fantasy teams. Despite a batting average that might not turn heads (.243), Olson's ability to drive in runs and score (76 runs scored this season) remains an asset in fantasy lineups, especially in categories that reward power statistics. His consistent power numbers, underscored by a solid .335 wOBA, make him a valuable asset in most fantasy formats.

Matt Olson's doubles drive Braves past Dodgers, 10-1

Matt Olson went 2-for-5 with two doubles and four RBI in the Braves' dominant win over the Dodgers.

Fantasy Impact

His performance was a bright spot in what has been a somewhat challenging season, marked by a modest .238 batting average and a high strikeout rate. However, Olson's ability to drive in runs, now totaling 86 RBI, along with his consistent power (25 HRs and 36 doubles), keeps him relevant in fantasy lineups. His wOBA of .324 suggests he's been somewhat effective, but fantasy managers should remain cautious due to his batting average and strikeout tendencies.

Matt Olson's quiet bat still contributes in Braves victory

Matt Olson went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI as the Braves topped the Dodgers 6-2.

Fantasy Impact

Despite not lighting up the scoreboard with multiple hits or home runs, Olson's ability to drive in a key run helped his team secure the win. His season batting average remains a concern at .237, and with a high strikeout rate, fantasy managers might be feeling the sting of his inconsistency. However, his power numbers with 25 homers and 82 RBI are respectable, providing some redemption. Olson's performance is a mixed bag, but he remains a viable option in fantasy lineups, primarily due to his power potential and run-producing capabilities.
