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.
Dominic Smith went 4-for-4 with four singles and two runs scored in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Cubs.
Fantasy Impact
Smith has actually singled in each of his last five at-bats, raising his average to .363 on the year in the process. The veteran DH has been locked in all season for the Braves, and given some injuries on the club, Smith should see regular time in the lineup against right-handed pitchers going forward.
Dominic Smith went 1-for-5 in Friday's 9-0 rout of the Phillies with a solo homer.
Fantasy Impact
After Friday's win, Smith is slashing an outstanding.362/.392/.617 with four home runs, 16 RBI and 10 runs scored through 16 games. Smith has been an excellent surprise as the Braves' strong-side DH to this point.
Dominic Smith went 3-for-4 in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Marlins with a double and four RBI.
Fantasy Impact
Smith continues to come up large in clutch situations for the Braves, as he delivered a three-run, game-winning double in the eighth inning of Tuesday's comeback win. Smith is now slashing a ridiculous .395/.429/.658 with three homers, 15 RBI, and nine runs scored through 41 plate appearances.
