On the batting front, Brett Baty has shown exceptional prowess with an impressive .500 average and a slugging percentage that peaked at 1.0 in one game, showcasing his ability to contribute significantly to the Mets' offensive efforts. His overall performance across the last three games has been noteworthy, with consistent hitting that promises to pose a challenge for the Astros' pitchers.

McCormick's batting average stood at .500 in one of the past games, coupled with an on-base percentage of .333 and a slugging percentage of .333, highlighting his balanced approach at the plate. His contributions will be crucial for the Astros as they look to counteract the Mets' pitching strengths.


Another key player for the Astros is Hunter Brown, whose pitching skills were highlighted by an ERA of 3.0 and a WHIP of 0.6667 in one game. Brown's ability to limit opponents' scoring opportunities will be vital in keeping the Mets' hitters at bay.
