Burleson sits behind Walker in the outfield rotation and has posted a .250/.753 line since July. In the wake of Walker’s benching, Burleson is a dotted line of potential upside—if he can seize a larger share of ABs, his fantasy value could rise with more consistent playing time.

Burleson contributed to the seventh-inning rally with a productive RBI groundout that helped tie the game before Donovan’s late hit. His at-bats and situational contact show he can contribute in run-producing moments when the lineup turns the corner.

Alec Burleson is highlighted as the smarter trade chip due to his power and the potential to net a stronger return, despite defense gaps. His long control through 2028 and age of 26 positions him as a prime asset to target a controllable starter and reshape STL's rotation.

Alec Burleson has exhibited pop against right-handed pitching, highlighted by 12 homers vs. RHP and 14 overall this season. Facing Dollander and a Rockies bullpen prone to long innings makes him a premier DFS and prop target, with +360 homer odds underscoring upside in a game ripe for big swings and stacked scoring.

Burleson thrives against right-handed pitching and owns 12 home runs against RHP this season. Monday’s matchup vs Colorado’s Dollander, plus a Rockies bullpen that has allowed many homers, sets up Burleson for a strong homer night, especially given his .283 average and 0.812 OPS in such spots.
