Jake Burger sizzles with power in Marlins' victory

Jake Burger went 2-for-4 in the Marlins' 6-4 win over the Mets, featuring a home run, a double, two runs scored, and two RBI.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance, showcasing his power-hitting capabilities, offers a glimmer of hope for fantasy managers looking for signs of life from Burger, who has struggled with a modest .229 batting average this season. Despite the low average, his 11 home runs and 37 RBI in 74 games indicate that he can contribute valuable power numbers. However, his high strikeout rate of 0.268 and low walk rate of 0.052 suggest that any uptick in fantasy value will likely be tied to his ability to maintain or improve his power output rather than expecting improvements in batting average or on-base skills.
