Olson went 1-for-2 with three walks, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
The first baseman hammered a hanging curveball from Nick Pivetta on the first pitch he saw in the first inning, and Boston pitchers wanted no part of him the rest of the night. Olson extended his hitting streak to seven games with the blast, his third in the last five contests and his 11th of the year. Despite a career-worst 33.3 percent strikeout rate so far in 2023, he's recorded an impressive .250/.382/.551 slash line with 29 RBI in 36 games.

The first baseman crushed a David Peterson offering to right field in the fifth inning, sending the ball an estimated 433 feet. The blast came just in the nick of time too, as an 88-minute rain delay resulted in the game being called after five frames.

Olson went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Olson had a rollercoaster evening Wednesday, striking out three times in the win but hitting a solo homer to open the top of the eighth to bring Atlanta to within one. He sparked the offense, as the team rallied around his long ball to put up four total runs in the inning and claim the lead. Olson has hit seven home runs this season with 21 RBI and 19 runs scored over 25 games.

Olson went 1-for-4 with a walk, a three-run home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's win over the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
The first baseman capped the scoring on the night by taking Reiss Knehr deep in the ninth inning. It's Olson's sixth homer of the year, helping to fuel a .296/.405/.648 slash line that also comes with 15 runs and 20 RBI in 18 games. It's there's a cause for concern with the 29-year-old's hot start it's his career-worst 34.5 percent strikeout rate, but it's hard to argue with the results when he is making contact.
