AI Summary
Jake Burger went 2-for-4 with a home run, double, four RBIs, and two runs scored as the Rangers defeated the Astros 8-0. The first baseman has been a consistent starter and is showing power potential with eight home runs on the season, though his barrel rate is down slightly from previous years.
The homer was his eighth of the season as the first baseman has started all but three games for Texas. Burger's barrel rate is down a couple ticks from prior years, but he's always been a streaky hitter who hits for power in bunches. Timing those can be difficult in fantasy, and his pitcher-friendly home park doesn't help. A three-game trip to Coors to begin the week could see him heat up, however.
