Cubs' Key Players to Watch


Seiya Suzuki, the Cubs' right fielder, has been a beacon of consistency and excellence. Over the past three games, Suzuki boasts an impressive batting average of .528 with an on-base percentage of .544 and slugging percentage of .883. His remarkable performance against the Rangers on April 8th, where he achieved a batting average of .750 and contributed two RBIs, highlights his potential to be a game-changer in this upcoming matchup.


Another player to keep an eye on is Peter Crow-Armstrong, who plays center field for the Cubs. Despite a quieter game against the Dodgers on April 12th, where he had no hits in three at-bats, his overall performance remains strong with a batting average of .200 over the last three games. Additionally, Dansby Swanson's contribution as shortstop cannot be overlooked; he delivered a stellar performance against the Rangers with a batting average of .500 and an OPS of 1.65.
