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.

Matt Olson has quiet day at the plate in Braves' loss

Matt Olson went 2-for-3 with a walk in the Braves' 9-5 defeat to the Blue Jays.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the loss, Olson managed to notch a couple of hits and score a run, though he didn't contribute any RBIs or extra-base hits. This performance is somewhat reflective of his season, marked by a .232 batting average and a significant strikeout rate. While his power numbers are decent with 25 homers, his overall production hasn't quite lived up to expectations. Olson's ability to draw walks, evidenced again in this game, keeps his on-base percentage at a respectable level, but fantasy managers might be growing weary of the low batting average and high strikeout totals. His consistent power does offer some value, but it's clear that any hopes for a batting title are long gone.

Matt Olson Powers Up, Braves Fall Short

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.

Matt Olson Powers Braves Past Twins, 10-6

Matt Olson went 3-for-5 with a home run, two doubles, and five RBI in the Braves' 10-6 victory over the Twins.

Fantasy Impact

This performance was a much-needed boost for Olson, who has been struggling with a batting average of just .230 over 131 games this season. His contributions today, including driving in five runs and scoring twice, could hint at a potential upswing as he tries to improve his season stats. However, fantasy managers should remain cautious, as his high strikeout rate of 26.6% and modest .319 wOBA suggest that consistency might still be an issue. Today's game, while impressive, should be viewed as a bright spot in what has been a challenging season for Olson.
