OK, everybody say it with me. All August 13, 2014

According to Elias, the only other player in Astros history to hit 15 homers and drive in 36 runs over a 31-game span was Jeff Bagwell, in 1994 and 2000. Carter now has nine career multi-home run games, and six this season, which ties him with Toronto's nERD of 1.22 means a lineup full of Chris Carters would score 1.22 more runs than a league average hitter over a 27-out game, 66th-best in Major League Baseball.

Carter is now third in the American League in homers this season, trailing only Chicago's our projections indicate. We see him hitting .237/.329/.481 the rest of the way, with an OPS of .810 and eight home runs, which would give him a projected end-of-season slash line of .230/.309/.498 with 34 homers and an OPS of .807.

Make sure you ride him right now, because this power surge has been going on for a solid month-and-a-half, and doesn't show any signs of slowing just yet.
