Freeman's exceptional performance was highlighted in one of the previous games where he boasted a staggering .750 batting average, hitting a home run and driving in two runs. This level of excellence is not new for Freeman, who has consistently shown his ability to change the course of a game with his bat. Over the last three games, his average has been an impressive .333 with an on-base percentage (OBP) of .333 and slugging percentage (SLG) of 1.75, showcasing his all-around batting capabilities.


On the other side, the Giants are not without their own standout players. LaMonte Wade Jr., playing at first base, has shown significant prowess with a batting average of .500 and an OBP of .667 in one of the recent games. His performance adds an exciting layer to the upcoming clash as he looks to challenge the Dodgers' pitchers.
