Other notable players from both teams include Kevin Pillar from the Angels, who impressed with a .750 batting average and 3 RBIs in one of his recent appearances. For the Cardinals, Nolan Gorman's .583 batting average over three games cannot be overlooked as it adds depth to their lineup.

The Cardinals, meanwhile, will count on Goldschmidt's leadership at bat and hope for strong performances from their pitching staff including Kyle Gibson and Andrew Kittredge.
