Lindquist called Alec Burleson a "sneaky, sneaky saucy" prop target Monday against Cubs rookie Ben Brown. Burleson owns just a 13.5% strikeout rate with a 16-degree launch angle and .444 xSLG, an ideal profile against the swing-and-miss stuff Brown leans on (29% K rate). With heat and humidity soaring in St. Louis, ball-flight conditions will mimic last weekend’s Wrigley "nuclear" series that produced multiple double-digit totals. Lindquist is waiting for markets to post but plans to hit Burleson 1.5 total bases or even HR (+600 or longer), emphasizing that his contact skill should negate Brown’s biggest weapon.
