Another key player for the White Sox is outfielder Tommy Pham. Pham has shown consistency with a batting average of .500 and an OPS (on-base plus slugging) of 1.75 over the last three games. His ability to get on base and drive in runs will be crucial for the White Sox's offense.


On the pitching side, reliever Michael Kopech has been exceptional. In his recent outings, Kopech has maintained a perfect ERA (earned run average) of 0.0 and a WHIP (walks plus hits per inning pitched) of 0.0 while striking out batters at an impressive rate of 27 strikeouts per nine innings (K/9). His control and dominance on the mound could be pivotal in keeping the Orioles' hitters at bay.

For the Orioles, outfielder Austin Hays stands out with a perfect batting average of 1.000 and an OPS of 2.5 in his last game, where he had two hits in two at-bats and drove in one run. Hays' ability to deliver under pressure makes him a significant threat to any pitching staff.


Shortstop Gunnar Henderson has also been noteworthy for Baltimore with a batting average of .500 and an OPS of 1.3 over recent games. Henderson's consistent hitting adds depth to the Orioles' lineup.
