Martinez, serving as the designated hitter for the Mets, has been nothing short of spectacular in recent outings. His batting average of .333 and an on-base percentage of .500 in one of the previous games underscore his critical role in the Mets' lineup. Notably, his slugging percentage stood at an impressive 1.000, thanks to hitting two home runs and driving in two runs, showcasing his power-hitting capabilities that could prove pivotal against the Marlins.


On the other side, Jazz Chisholm of the Marlins has also been a standout performer. Playing as a center fielder, Chisholm's agility and skill have been vital for Miami. With a batting average of .400 and a slugging percentage of .600 in one of their last games, Chisholm's ability to get on base and drive in runs has been instrumental for the Marlins.

The Mets' roster boasts other notable performers such as Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso, whose consistent contributions have been key to their team's success. Lindor's defensive prowess at shortstop combined with Alonso's power-hitting gives the Mets a well-rounded team capable of challenging any opponent.


For the Marlins, players like Vidal Bruján and Jesús Sánchez will be crucial in their quest for victory. Bruján's speed and versatility make him a threat on the bases, while Sánchez's ability to drive in runs can never be underestimated.
