Varsho's statistics over the last three games have been impressive, with a standout performance in one of the matches where he managed an on-base percentage (OBP) of 0.25 despite not getting any hits from his three at-bats (AB), highlighting his ability to get on base and create scoring opportunities. Over these games, his average (AVG) might not reflect his potential impact, but his disciplined approach at the plate is noteworthy.


On the Guardians' side, Josh Naylor has been a consistent force. As an infielder, Naylor showcased his power-hitting capabilities by maintaining a .500 batting average (AVG) in one of the previous games, along with securing two runs batted in (RBI) and achieving a slugging percentage (SLG) of 0.75. His performance is crucial for the Guardians' lineup and poses a significant challenge for Blue Jays' pitchers.

Another Guardian to watch is Steven Kwan, who displayed exceptional batting skills by hitting .667 in one game and contributing two RBIs with a slugging percentage of 1.667. Kwan's ability to drive in runs combined with Naylor's power makes them key players for their team.


The Blue Jays have other notable performers such as Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who hit a home run and maintained a .500 AVG across one game, showcasing his ability to change the game's outcome with a single swing.
