Dominic Smith went 1-for-3 with a solo homer, a walk, two RBI, and two runs scored in Saturday's 8-3 win over the Nationals.
Fantasy Impact
Smith is now up to eight homers and 43 RBI for the season. The 31-year-old has been very productive since the All-Star break, posting a .938 OPS with a couple of long balls, eight RBI, and six runs scored across 30 plate appearances. Smith should remain a regular in the lineup against right-handed pitchers down the stretch.
Dominic Smith went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer in Thursday's 6-5 win against the Padres.
Fantasy Impact
It had been a while since Smith drove a baseball out of the yard. Before his go-ahead shot into the right-field during the fourth inning Thursday, Smith had gone 96 plate appearances since his last long ball. The veteran DH is now up to seven homers and 39 RBI with a .713 OPS through 84 games.
Dominic Smith went 1-for-4 with a three-run double in Thursday's 11-5 loss to the Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact
With the Braves facing an early three-run deficit, their offense briefly came to life in the first inning Thursday, scoring five while bringing 10 batters to the plate. Smith delivered the big knock of the inning, as he stepped up with the bases loaded and rifled a liner off the foot of St. Louis pitcher Dustin May. The ball would ricochet all the way into right field and clear the bases. Smith is now up to 35 RBI on the year, and perhaps he can snap out of a long cold streak.
Dominic Smith went 2-for-3 with a walk and a two-run homer in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact
Smith had the big blow that broke the game open for the Braves on Saturday, as his two-run shot that snuck inside the left-field foul pole ran the lead from one up to three in the bottom of the fifth. Smith has had a great season overall for the Braves, but he had been in an 0-for-14 slide going into Saturday's game. Through 149 plate appearances, Smith is now sporting an .830 OPS with six homers and 28 RBI.
Dominic Smith went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer, a triple, and two runs scored in Wednesday's 9-1 win over the Marlins.
Fantasy Impact
Smith continues to be the surprise of the season for the Braves. The 30-year-old DH clubbed his fifth deep drive of the season on Wednesday, and he actually scored on his own triple after a fielding error from the Marlins. Smith is utilized on the strong side of a platoon by the Braves, but through his 106 plate appearances so far this season, he is sporting a .903 OPS with nine extra-base hits and 22 RBI.
