Jake Burger Sizzles with Big Day at the Plate
by Jesse Garcia | Marlins Correspondent | Sun, Aug 11th 8:09pm EDT
Jake Burger went 3-for-4 in the Marlins' narrow 7-6 victory over the Padres, including a home run, three runs scored, and two RBI.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance underscores a season where Burger has shown power but struggled with consistency, hitting .251 with 22 homers. His ability to drive in runs and score, evidenced by his 53 RBI and 48 runs scored, keeps him relevant in fantasy formats, especially those that value power stats. However, his high strikeout rate and low walk rate limit his on-base potential, making him a risky play in points leagues that penalize strikeouts. Burger's power surge could be a boon for those in need of home runs and RBI, but managers should temper expectations given his batting average and on-base percentages.
