Jake Burger's Power Display Not Enough in Loss
by Chase Davis | Marlins Correspondent | Sat, Aug 3rd 9:53am EDT
Jake Burger went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in the Marlins' 5-3 loss to the Braves.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the defeat, Burger's ability to connect for his 16th homer of the season was a highlight for Miami. This performance, however, underscores a season marked by modest power but concerning strikeout rates, as evidenced by his .237 average and high strikeout total. His .308 wOBA suggests he's been about average in terms of creating runs, and while the power is useful, his fantasy value is limited by his inability to consistently get on base and his high propensity for strikeouts. Moving forward, Burger remains a fringe fantasy option, primarily valuable in deeper leagues for his occasional home run potential.
