Freddie Freeman or Matt Olson

Who's Better?

DFS Contests

Between Freeman and Olson, for those looking for the best stats today (and for most daily matchups), we generally give the slight edge to Freddie. He's a more consistent hitter and the splits play that out. Possible exceptions to that include when Olson is playing in a day game (.928 OPS vs .821 OPS at night) or when he's going against a pitcher he sees pretty well.

Season-long Rotisserie

Freeman bats in the heart of a better lineup and, overall, has better long-term numbers so there's plenty of reason for his higher draft ranking. Streaks aside, both are perennial all-stars but Freeman is consistently better over the course of a full season and, for good measure, will toss in ~10 steals. The main risk here is injury. Freeman has dealt with a variety of issues over the past year culminating with ankle surgery in Dec 2024. He'll likely be nursing the ankle over the first couple months of the season -- expect a slight drop to his typical numbers during that stretch.
