Jose Altuve, the Astros' second baseman, has been a consistent force for his team. Over the last three games, Altuve has shown why he's considered one of the top players in the league. Notably, in one of these games, he achieved an impressive batting average of .400 with an on-base percentage (OBP) of .400 and a slugging percentage (SLG) of .400. This performance underscores his ability to get on base and advance runners when it counts. On average across these games, Altuve maintained a solid performance that contributed significantly to his team's efforts.


On the opposing side stands Andrew Vaughn of the White Sox. The first baseman has been nothing short of spectacular, particularly shining in one game where he boasted an incredible batting average of .800, alongside an OBP of .800 and SLG of 1.200. Such numbers not only highlight Vaughn's prowess at hitting but also his capacity to drive in runs and change the course of a game single-handedly.
