On the mound for the Cardinals, Miles Mikolas has been a beacon of consistency. With an ERA of 3.0 and a WHIP of 0.8333 in his latest outing, Mikolas' control and precision have been paramount to the Cardinals' pitching strategy. His ability to keep hitters off balance could play a crucial role in this upcoming game.


The Rockies counter with their own set of standout players. Brendan Rodgers has been a key figure for Colorado, boasting a .500 batting average with one home run and one RBI in one of the previous games. His performance at second base has not only been reliable but also impactful.

Elias Díaz, another notable player for the Rockies, has demonstrated his value behind the plate and with the bat. Díaz hit .500 in one game, underscoring his offensive capabilities and making him a player to watch in this matchup.


However, it's Nolan Gorman's recent surge that makes him the Cardinals' top performer heading into this game. His astonishing .667 batting average combined with his power-hitting ability sets him apart as a key factor that could lead St. Louis to victory.
