Matt Olson remains a staple in Atlanta’s power core with 10 homers and 26 RBIs. He is hitting .240 on the season. His Statcast profile pops with a 94.7 mph average exit velocity and an imposing 18.3% barrel rate. Against a hittable Nationals pitching staff, Olson’s lefty thump is built to take advantage of favorable matchups.

Corbin Carroll’s elite blend of speed and slugging makes him a constant long-ball threat, and this season’s .277 average, 15 homers, and 34 RBIs prove it. The advanced numbers tell the real story: a hefty 93.9 mph average exit velocity and a 17.8% barrel rate. Against the Dodgers, Carroll’s lightning-quick bat speed makes him a dangerous candidate to take one deep.

Wyatt Langford has flashed serious power potential in his rookie campaign, boasting a .250 average with 9 bombs and 20 RBIs. His .819 OPS reflects both pop and patience, and a date with Yankee Stadium’s homer-friendly dimensions is tailor-made for his right-handed bat. At +650, Langford’s odds feel too juicy to ignore given his ability to punish mistakes.
