Mitchell, playing as a center fielder for the Brewers, has been a standout performer. Over the last three games, his batting average was an impressive .250 in one game and skyrocketed to .750 in another, showcasing his ability to significantly impact the game's outcome. His on-base percentage (OBP) reached as high as .75 in one of these matches, making him a critical player for the Brewers' offense.


On the Athletics side, Osvaldo Bido, a starting pitcher, has demonstrated his prowess on the mound with an ERA of 1.8 and striking out 10.8 batters per nine innings in one of the previous games. His performance will be crucial for the Athletics if they hope to contain the Brewers' hitters.

Another notable player from the Athletics is Lawrence Butler, an outfielder who managed a .500 batting average and an OBP of .5 in one game. His ability to get on base could prove vital for the Athletics as they look to build pressure on the Brewers' pitchers.


The Brewers also have depth in their lineup with players like William Contreras and Rhys Hoskins showing potential in recent outings. Contreras had moments where he shined with a batting average reaching up to .500 and an OBP of .6 in one game. Hoskins brings power and precision to the plate, which could come into play during critical moments of the upcoming game.
