Adames has been a beacon of consistency for the Brewers, boasting an impressive .333 batting average over the last three games. His standout moment came in a recent match where he not only maintained a perfect fielding percentage but also hit a staggering .500 with a slugging percentage of 1.25, marking him as a player capable of changing the game's dynamics single-handedly.


On the other side, Nico Hoerner has emerged as a formidable force for the Cubs. With a .361 batting average across three games, Hoerner's ability to get on base and drive in runs has been unmatched. His performance peaked when he achieved a .500 batting average, coupled with a .750 slugging percentage, underscoring his pivotal role in the Cubs' lineup.

The Brewers also have other notable performers like outfielder Jackson Chourio and catcher Gary Sánchez. Chourio impressed with a .500 batting average and an OPS of 1.25 in one game, while Sánchez showed his prowess by hitting .500 across another game. Their contributions could very well tip the scales in favor of Milwaukee.


For the Cubs, Ian Happ's remarkable three RBI game with an OPS of 3.417 showcases his potential impact on the upcoming clash. Alongside Happ, Cody Bellinger has consistently provided offensive firepower with a .450 batting average over three games, making him another critical player to watch.
