Miami Marlins corner infielder Jake Burger continued his hot hitting on Tuesday versus the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies. Burger went 1-for-4 on the night with a walk and a solo home run. Despite getting off to a slow start and being hurt with injuries in the first half of the season, the slugger has been on an insane tear of late. Over the last month, Burger is hitting .330 with 13 homers and 19 RBI in 91 at-bats. Burger's Statcast profile backs up his power surge, as he has been hitting and barreling balls thrown to him at a very high rate. Although he will likely cool off at some point, the power is legit and should remain. Burger has given patient fantasy managers every reason to be happy and has become a must-start with his recent hot streak.
Miami Marlins slugger Jake Burger had a monster game on Sunday as the Fish beat the San Diego Padres 7-6. Burger went 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, and three runs scored in Sunday's victory. His two-run blast came in the second inning off of the Padres ace Dylan Cease. Burger has 22 home runs on the season and has hit one in three straight games. He has been scorching hot lately, slashing .379/.438/.931 in his last seven contests. He is available in 16% of Yahoo! leagues and should definitely be on all fantasy manager's radars as the season comes into its final stretch.
Miami Marlins corner infielder Jake Burger remained one of the hottest hitters in baseball during Wednesday night's win over the visiting Cincinnati Reds at LoanDepot Park, smashing two home runs in the victory. After belting a ball to center field for a solo home run off Reds left-hander Andrew Abbott to open the scoring for the Marlins in the first inning, Burger pulled a fly ball to left field for his second solo shot of the game to extend Miami's lead to 6-0 in the fifth frame. The 28-year-old slugging third baseman has been raking for the past month or so, hitting .325 (26-for-80) with 10 homers, 18 RBI, and 15 runs scored in his last 21 games since July 13.
Miami Marlins first baseman/third baseman Jake Burger has continued to showcase his power, going deep for the second time in as many games on Wednesday afternoon and the third time in the past week. During this stretch, the 28-year-old has posted three multi-hit performances with a .850 SLG. The Missouri State product has swung a hot bat through all of July with a .287/.354/.609 line and eight home runs, which is a stark contrast to the underwhelming .213/.246/.322 line and four home runs he held through May and June. Burger is emerging as a strong streaming option in all leagues and is worth a look in DFS as he continues this hot stretch.
Miami Marlins infielder Jake Burger contributed to Friday night's win over the visiting division-rival New York Mets, cranking his 11th home run of the year with two RBI and two runs scored. After hitting an RBI double off Mets left-hander Sean Manaea down the left-field line to extend the Marlins' lead to 3-0 in the third inning, Burger crushed a solo homer to left-center field to give Miami a 5-2 lead in the fifth frame. The 28-year-old former first-round pick has cooled down significantly after a scorching-hot start to the season in the RBI department (15 through his first 13 games this year), but he's picking up some steam in July by hitting .292 (14-for-48) with four round-trippers, two doubles, 10 RBI, and eight runs scored in 12 contests this month.
