For the Cubs, Taillon has emerged as a beacon of reliability on the mound. His pitching prowess was on full display in his last outing, boasting an ERA of 0.0 and a WHIP that barely touched 0.2857, complemented by an impressive strikeout rate of 9 per nine innings. This exceptional performance not only secured a win for his team but also showcased his ability to dominate batters with precision and control.


On the offensive side, Nico Hoerner has been a consistent force for the Cubs, hitting .750 in one of the games and maintaining an average that speaks volumes about his contribution to the lineup. His knack for getting on base and driving in runs has been crucial for the Cubs' offense, making him a player to watch in the upcoming game.

The Yankees counter with their own set of standout performers. Aaron Judge has been instrumental in keeping the pressure on opposing pitchers, highlighted by his .333 batting average and ability to drive in runs when it matters most. His presence in the lineup adds depth and power, posing a significant challenge for any pitcher he faces.


Giancarlo Stanton also continues to be a formidable threat at the plate for the Yankees. With an OPS reflecting his power-hitting capabilities and clutch performances, Stanton's bat could very well tilt the game in favor of the visitors if he finds his rhythm early on.
