Ryan McMahon's fielding has been flawless across the last three games, maintaining a perfect fielding percentage (FPCT) of 1.0. His batting average (AVG) might have seen a dip to .200 in one game but rebounded with significant on-base plus slugging (OPS) figures in others, showcasing his ability to contribute significantly both defensively and offensively.


Brenton Doyle and Michael Toglia also deserve mention for their contributions to the Rockies. Doyle's hitting average peaked at .500 in one of the games, demonstrating his potential as a key player. Toglia's performance included a home run and an RBI, highlighting his power-hitting capability which could be crucial against the Brewers.

On the Brewers' side, Christian Yelich's performance has been noteworthy. With an impressive batting average of .500 in one game and an OPS of 1.75 along with 2 RBIs, Yelich has proven himself to be a critical asset for Milwaukee. His ability to drive in runs and maintain high on-base percentages makes him a player the Rockies must carefully strategize against.


Brice Turang is another Brewer who cannot be overlooked. Turang's batting average stood at .400 with a home run and four RBIs in one game, showcasing his potential as a significant threat to opposing pitchers.
