Chris Welsh declared Matt Olson as an ideal buy-low fantasy target, highlighting that Olson's actual slow performance has obscured solid underlying metrics. Olson's expected batting average is significantly higher than his current production, and he maintains outstanding barrel rates and hard-hit data. Welsh expressed full confidence that Olson's true talent level will soon surface and strongly encouraged fantasy managers to seize the opportunity to buy Olson at a discounted cost right now, before positive regression boosts his value again.

Brandon 'B_Don' Myers emphasized Matt Olson as a prime target for concerned fantasy owners looking to buy low. Despite Olson's underwhelming statistical start due to factors like a low .231 BABIP and bad luck (one HR robbed by Tatis), Olson's advanced metrics such as career-best hard-hit rate (69.2%), barrel rate (30.8%), and average exit velocity (97.4 mph) signal positive upcoming regression. Myers also pointed out Olson is showcasing improved plate discipline with his lowest strikeout rate in four years and highest walk rate (25%) of his career. Myers suggested trading players like Josh Naylor, Seiya Suzuki, Jose Altuve, or even Freddie Freeman to obtain Olson before he inevitably rebounds.

Just A Bet Outside identified Matt Olson as a hitter to fade for his matchup against Jesus Luzardo. Olson has struggled significantly against Luzardo in past encounters, including accumulating six strikeouts. Luzardo is also coming fresh off a strong outing against the potent Dodgers lineup, further reinforcing expectations that Olson could struggle again today. The analyst cites this combination of pitcher confidence and hitter batter history as actionable reasoning to consider Olson negatively in DFS or betting markets.

Highlighting Olson's potential against Phillies left-handed pitcher Jesus Luzardo, Kyle Kargel advised betting Olson to hit a homer at +500 odds. Kargel explained that Olson historically excels against left-handers, hitting home runs every 17 at-bats against them last season, compared to every 22 at-bats against righties, along with a noticeably superior slugging percentage (.515 vs. lefties). Olson is also batting .375 against southpaws early in this season (compared to just .167 vs righties), providing additional evidence of his preference against left-handed pitching. Luzardo, meanwhile, allowed left-handed hitters a .267 batting average with a .489 slugging percentage last year, making him vulnerable in this matchup. Kargel also cited Braves hitters Marcell Ozuna (+430) and Austin Riley (+450) as secondary homer bets.

Scott Reichel strongly recommended Braves slugger Matt Olson as a good home run betting option at an attractive price point. He pointed out Olson's solid track record against Cal Quantrill (3-for-6 lifetime with a double) and noted that the Braves' bats seemed to awaken against the Dodgers recently. Olson himself showed signs of improvement with doubles in back-to-back games, marking ideal timing to buy low on Olson to go deep against Quantrill, who historically gives up heavy contact.
