Ryan McMahon, playing at third base for the Rockies, has been a model of consistency. Over his last three games, McMahon's batting average was .178 with an OPS (On-base Plus Slugging) of .411 across all games, demonstrating his ability to get on base and advance runners when it counts. Despite a dip in his performance in one game where he batted .000 with an OPS of 0.0, his overall fielding percentage stood at 100 percent, underscoring his reliability in defense.


On the other side, Freddie Freeman, the first baseman for the Dodgers, has been nothing short of spectacular. In one standout game against the Mets on May 28th, Freeman boasted a batting average of .600 with an impressive OPS of 1.8, including hitting a home run and driving in three runs. His performance not only highlights his prowess at bat but also his critical role in generating runs for the Dodgers.

Montero had an impressive game with a batting average of .333 and an OPS of 1.833 including a home run and two RBIs, while Rodgers maintained a solid batting average of .278 across games with noteworthy power-hitting capabilities.
