Alec Burleson | Fantasy Outlook

Alec Burleson is surging at the plate as an elite middle-of-the-order run producer

Burleson continues to pace the offense for a third-place Cardinals club looking to snap a five-game losing streak, slashing .320/.358/.500 with two homers and 14 RBIs over his last 14 games. Firmly entrenched as the everyday first baseman, he has shouldered an increased offensive load with shortstop Masyn Winn sidelined on the injured list.

With 21 home runs, 98 RBIs, and a .292 batting average across 133 games, Burleson has emphatically shattered our baseline season projections. His blistering .964 OPS over the past 30 days is fully supported by elite contact rates and hard-hit ability, confirming this midsummer power surge is a legitimate career leap rather than a fluke.

St. Louis closes out its homestand with four attractive matchups, beginning tonight against Baltimore's Trevor Rogers (4.21 ERA) before hosting Pittsburgh's Jared Jones (4.76 ERA) and Braxton Ashcraft (3.71 ERA). Facing multiple vulnerable starters with ERAs over 4.20 provides Burleson ample opportunity to pad his counting stats. Lock him into active lineups. Start.
