Pasquantino's ability to maintain a high on-base percentage (.4) and slugging (1.5) across these games underscores his critical role in the Royals' lineup. His performance is not just about power but also about precision and consistency, making him a player to watch in the upcoming game.


On the other side, the Angels have their own standout performers. Taylor Ward, playing left field for the Angels, has shown commendable skill with a batting average of .333 and an on-base percentage of .5 in one of their recent outings.
