Fantasy Impact

His performance showcased his power-hitting capabilities, as he contributed significantly to the team's victory with a pair of solo shots. This game marks a continuation of a solid season for O'Neill, who now boasts 20 home runs and 38 RBI through 73 games. His strikeout rate remains high at 0.330, but his ability to impact the game with his power stroke keeps his fantasy value afloat, especially in formats that reward home runs and RBI. O'Neill's .373 wOBA indicates he's been effective at creating runs when he does connect, making him a valuable asset for fantasy teams in need of power numbers.

Tyler O'Neill went 2-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in the Red Sox's narrow 7-6 defeat to the Dodgers.

Fantasy Impact

O'Neill's power display, contributing all his RBI via long balls, was a bright spot in an otherwise disappointing loss for Boston. This performance pushes his season home run tally to 18, reinforcing his role as a significant power threat in the lineup. Despite a high strikeout rate of 0.333, his ability to deliver impactful hits like today keeps his fantasy stock buoyant, especially in formats that reward power numbers. His consistent slugging, evidenced by a solid .366 wOBA, should keep him relevant in fantasy circles, although managers should remain wary of the potential drag his strikeouts could have on his batting average.

Tyler O'Neill went 3-for-4 in the Red Sox's 4-1 loss to the Dodgers.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the team's struggles, O'Neill's performance was a bright spot, though it lacked extra-base hits or runs produced. His season batting average now sits at .260, and while his power numbers are decent with 16 homers, his high strikeout rate (.332) continues to be a concern for fantasy managers. His ability to get on base via hits rather than walks, as evidenced by his .116 walk rate, suggests a reliance on batting average, which can be volatile. Fantasy players should view O'Neill as a streaky option, capable of big games but also prone to dry spells.
