Grisham, playing center field for the Yankees, has been nothing short of spectacular. In one of the previous games, he boasted an average of .667 with an on-base percentage (OBP) equally impressive at .667, not to mention his slugging percentage matching his average. This exceptional performance underscores his potential to significantly impact the upcoming game.


On the other side, Francisco Lindor from the Mets has shown commendable skill as well. With a batting average of .250 and a slugging percentage that soared to 1.0 in one of the past games, Lindor's ability to deliver when it matters could pose a challenge for the Yankees.

However, it's not just about individual brilliance. Giancarlo Stanton has also made headlines with a .500 batting average and a 1.5 OPS in one of the recent outings, demonstrating that the Yankees have depth in their lineup.


For the Mets, Brandon Nimmo and Starling Marte have been notable contributors. Nimmo's consistent performance across games and Marte's RBI in one of their last encounters highlight their importance to the team's strategy.
