Players to Watch: San Diego Padres vs. LA Dodgers
San Diego Padres
Fernando Tatis Jr. — RF. Tatis is hitting .285 this season, adding a .355 on-base percentage and a .468 slugging mark that make him one of the more well-rounded threats in San Diego’s lineup. His average ranks fourth on the roster, with utility man Samad Taylor’s .343 mark leading the way.
Manny Machado — 3B. Machado leads the Padres with 28 home runs, part of a season that also includes 84 RBIs from the third base spot. His .219 average trails well behind the power numbers, a reminder that the production tends to come in bunches rather than through steady contact.
Jackson Merrill — CF. Merrill covers center field for San Diego and has driven in 86 runs to go with 26 home runs and a .255 average. His 86 RBIs edge out Machado’s 84 even though Merrill has hit two fewer home runs, 26 to Machado’s 28.
LA Dodgers
Freddie Freeman — 1B. Freeman leads the Dodgers with a .292 average, holding down first base while adding a .367 on-base percentage and a .438 slugging mark. The steady contact keeps him a fixture near the top of a lineup built around production up and down the order.
Max Muncy — 3B. Playing third base, Muncy has been the Dodgers’ primary power source, leading the club with 29 home runs and 76 RBIs. His .500 slugging percentage is the product of an approach built around extra-base damage, with a .256 average that trails the power numbers.
Mookie Betts — SS. Betts anchors shortstop for Los Angeles and is hitting .259 with 22 home runs and 67 RBIs. His .325 on-base percentage and .454 slugging mark give the Dodgers length in the middle of the order beyond Freeman and Muncy alone.
