6 years agoAtlanta Braves outfielder Nick Markakis was 1-for-3 during Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Boston Red Sox. To be fair, at least the 34-year-old had a hit, as he is carrying a paltry .175 average with zero home runs and three RBI through his past 15 games. Markakis, surprisingly enough, was one of the best hitters in baseball during the first half of the season, but really fell into a funk during the end of August. He still has an excellent .303 average on the year to go along with 14 homers and 83 RBI, which suggests that fantasy managers should continue to hold the faith. He still bats in an enviable spot in a potent Braves lineup and routinely sees opportunities to drive in runs.--Raymond Harrison - RotoBaller
