Hoskins has been a standout for the Brewers, demonstrating exceptional skill both at bat and in the field. Over the last three games, he has maintained a batting average of .278, hitting consistently and driving in runs when it matters most. His on-base plus slugging (OPS) stands out at .661, highlighting his ability to get on base and advance runners. In one remarkable game against the Padres, Hoskins' fielding was flawless, boasting a 100 percent fielding percentage which contributed significantly to the Brewers' defensive efforts.


On the other side, Manny Machado of the Padres has shown why he's considered one of baseball's elite third basemen. Machado's batting average soared to .622 over three games, including an impressive performance where he hit .800 in a single game. His slugging percentage and OPS numbers are through the roof, making him a critical asset for the Padres as they look to counteract Milwaukee's offensive firepower.

Christian Yelich, left fielder for the Brewers, is another player worth watching. With an average of .328 across three games and an OPS of .867 in one standout performance, Yelich's ability to contribute significantly to his team's offensive output cannot be underestimated. His knack for getting on base and advancing runners has been crucial for Milwaukee.


The Padres have their own set of weapons, with Fernando Tatis Jr., an outfielder known for his explosive power at bat. Tatis demonstrated his prowess by hitting .800 in one game and maintaining an overall OPS of 1.8 across three matches. His performance will be vital as San Diego looks to assert dominance early in the game.
