One player who has been instrumental in the Cardinals' success is Paul Goldschmidt. As the first baseman for the team, Goldschmidt has consistently delivered outstanding performances on both offense and defense. In the previous three games, he has maintained an impressive batting average of .500 with an on-base percentage of .500. His slugging percentage stands at 0.5, showcasing his ability to hit powerful shots when it matters most.


Goldschmidt's contributions have not gone unnoticed by his teammates either. He has recorded one RBI and has been a key presence on the field with a fielding percentage of 1.0. His exceptional performance in these games has undoubtedly played a significant role in the Cardinals' victories.

However, Goldschmidt is not the only standout player on the Cardinals' roster. Nolan Arenado, playing as third baseman, has also made his mark with a batting average of .333 and an on-base percentage of 0.5. His defensive skills have been impeccable as well, maintaining a fielding percentage of 1.0.


On the pitching front, Kyle Gibson has emerged as a reliable starting pitcher for the Cardinals. With an ERA of 1.5 and a WHIP of 1.1667 in his last game, Gibson has proven himself as a formidable force on the mound.

While the Cardinals have showcased their prowess in recent games, it would be remiss not to mention some key players from the Mets who could potentially turn things around for their team. Francisco Lindor, playing as shortstop for the Mets, has displayed a batting average of .500 and an on-base percentage of 0.5 in the previous games. His contributions could be crucial in helping the Mets secure a victory.


Starling Marte, the right fielder for the Mets, has also shown promise with a batting average of .400 and an on-base percentage of 0.4. His ability to get on base consistently could create scoring opportunities for his team.


As the game unfolds at Citi Field, fans can expect an intense battle between these two teams. The Cardinals will rely on their dominant performances from players like Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado to maintain their winning streak against the Mets. However, the Mets have players like Francisco Lindor and Starling Marte who possess the skills to turn the tide in their favor.
