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.

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.

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.

Jake Burger homered and drove in four runs Saturday in a 10-6 loss to the Cincinnati Reds. On the season, Burger is hitting .225 with 10 home runs, 35 RBI, zero stolen bases and 29 runs scored. In July, he's hitting .275 with three home runs, eight RBI, and five runs scored. There are signs that Burger is finally starting to shake off his season-long slump and be a run-producing player for the Marlins, which means he could also be on the trade market ahead of the end-of-July trade deadline.
