As the Los Angeles Dodgers prepare to host the Pittsburgh Pirates at Dodger Stadium, all eyes are on two standout players who have been making waves with their recent performances. Freddie Freeman, the Dodgers' first baseman, has been a force to be reckoned with, showcasing his power and consistency at the plate. On the other side, Ke'Bryan Hayes, the Pirates' third baseman, has demonstrated precision and skill, making him a key player for his team.
Freeman's impact was particularly felt in one of the previous games where he hit an impressive .500 with 1 home run and 3 RBIs, solidifying his position as a top performer for the Dodgers.

Hayes, known for his agility and defensive prowess at third base, also shone brightly with a batting average of .400 in one of the recent games. His ability to get on base and score runs has been vital for the Pirates. With an overall performance that includes hitting .333 across the last three games, Hayes continues to be a significant threat at the plate.
