McMahon's batting average over the last three games has been impressive, with a standout performance where he hit .500 including a home run and an RBI, showcasing his power-hitting capabilities. His on-base percentage (OBP) reaching .600 in one of these games highlights his ability to get on base and create scoring opportunities for the Rockies. Over these games, his slugging percentage (SLG) peaked at 1.25, contributing to an outstanding on-base plus slugging (OPS) of 1.85. This blend of power and precision makes McMahon a critical asset for the Rockies.


On the Marlins' side, Jesús Sánchez has been a key player with notable performances. Sánchez demonstrated his hitting prowess by maintaining a .500 batting average in one game and contributing significantly with RBIs across multiple games. His ability to drive in runs combined with an OPS reaching 1.25 in one of the contests provides the Marlins with a solid offensive threat against the Rockies.
