Andrew Vaughn, a first baseman for the White Sox, has shown commendable performance, especially highlighted by his .250 batting average in one of the previous games. Despite a slight dip in his overall performance across three games with an average that hovered around .083, his ability to maintain a consistent on-base percentage indicates his potential impact in the upcoming game.


On the opposing side, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., playing first base for the Blue Jays, has been a force to reckon with. His outstanding .800 batting average in one game and an overall impressive performance with a .444 average across three games showcase his exceptional talent and threat at bat.
