Scores three runs Betts went 1-for-3 with two walks and three runs in a 10-2 victory over the Padres on Sunday.

Impact Betts singled in the first inning and walked in the third and sixth, scoring on all three occasions. The 29-year-old has scored six runs over his last three games and leads MLB with 14 runs on the season, which isn't all that surprising considering he leads off for a loaded Dodger's team. It's been a slow start for Betts' standards with a low .196 average and more strikeouts than games played but the star should get things straightened out soon.

He enters Wednesday's series finale with a .167/.211/.222 slash line over 19 plate appearances on the season, but fantasy managers shouldn't overreact to the slow start.
