Jazz Chishom, playing center field for the Marlins, has been nothing short of spectacular. His recent performance boasts an impressive .750 batting average with a home run and three RBIs in just one game, highlighting his exceptional power-hitting ability. Over the last three games, Chisholm has maintained a .333 batting average with a 1.5 slugging percentage, underscoring his consistent threat at the plate.


On the other side, Jose Altuve, the Astros' second baseman, has shown why he remains one of baseball's most respected hitters. Despite a quieter performance in his last outing with a .250 batting average and no home runs or RBIs recorded, Altuve's overall contribution across recent games cannot be overlooked. His experience and knack for getting on base make him a pivotal figure in the Astros' lineup.

Bruján showcased his skills with a .500 batting average and an OPS of 1.75 in one standout game, while Sánchez demonstrated power by driving in two runs in another match.


The Astros counter with their own set of key players. Chas McCormick and Yordan Alvarez have been instrumental in adding depth to Houston's offense. McCormick hit an impressive .500 with a home run in one game, proving his capability to change the game with a single swing.
