The Cardinals' roster is brimming with talent, with players like Masyn Winn and Alec Burleson showing commendable skills. Winn, with a notable .600 batting average and .800 slugging percentage in one game, alongside Burleson's exceptional two home runs and five RBIs in another, have been instrumental in their team's recent successes. Their performances, coupled with Carlson's consistency at bat – maintaining a remarkable average across games – position the Cardinals as formidable opponents.


On the Braves' side, Orlando Arcia has emerged as a key player. His batting prowess was highlighted by a .333 average and a .667 slugging percentage in one of the games, making him a significant threat to the Cardinals' pitching staff. The Braves also boast talents like Sean Murphy and Ozzie Albies, who have consistently contributed to their team's efforts. Murphy showcased his hitting capabilities with a .400 average in one game, while Albies demonstrated power by hitting a home run and driving in two runs in another match.

While Carlson leads the charge for the Cardinals with his impressive hitting statistics over the last three games, including an on-base plus slugging (OPS) that highlights his ability to get on base and hit for power, players like Arcia stand ready to make their mark for the Braves.
