Olson Powers Braves Past Cubs, 9-2

Matt Olson contributed significantly in the Braves' 9-2 victory over the Cubs, going 2-for-5 with a home run and an RBI.
Fantasy Impact:
His performance included a solo shot that added to the team's commanding lead, though he also struck out twice. Despite a somewhat sluggish start to the season with a .228 batting average and a high strikeout rate, Olson's power potential remains evident. His seventh homer of the season should reassure fantasy managers, though his overall production might still be a concern. Olson's ability to drive in runs (26 RBI in 46 games) and occasional power surges like today's are valuable, but his high strikeout numbers and low batting average could be limiting factors in his fantasy impact.
