As the Braves gear up to face the Cardinals in an eagerly awaited matchup, all eyes are on Orlando Arcia, whose consistent performance has been a cornerstone for the Braves' recent games.

Arcia's batting average over the last three games has been impressive, with a notable performance against the Padres where he hit an astonishing .667. His on-base percentage (OBP) and slugging percentage (SLG) have also been commendable, contributing significantly to the Braves' offensive strategy. On the pitching side for the Braves, Raisel Iglesias and Spencer Schwellenbach have kept their ERA at 0.0, showcasing their ability to shut down opposing hitters effectively.


On the Cardinals' front, Alec Burleson stands out with his exceptional hitting prowess. With a batting average of .500 and an OBP of .600 in one of the previous games, Burleson's ability to get on base and drive in runs has been vital for the Cardinals. His performance will undoubtedly be critical if the Cardinals aim to challenge the Braves' pitchers.
