Votto went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

He gave the Reds a quick lead in the top of the first inning with his 14th homer of the year and second in as many games, although it didn't hold up. Votto's BABIP is about 100 points lower than the level he's established over the last two seasons, but his .986 OPS is right in line with his 2015-16 performances, so the drastic increase in his flyball rate that's fueling his power spike hasn't harmed his overall production -- even if it's changed the shape of that production from a fantasy perspective.
