Players to Watch: Miami Marlins vs. Houston Astros
Miami Marlins
Otto Lopez — SS. At shortstop, Otto Lopez has turned into a steady table-setter for Miami, hitting .332 with a .501 slugging percentage. His .368 on-base percentage adds patience to go with the average, giving the Marlins a difficult at-bat near the top of the order every night.
Liam Hicks — C. Behind the plate, Liam Hicks brings rare pop for a catcher, hitting .285 with 14 home runs and 60 RBIs already this season. Those power numbers give the Marlins length in the middle of the order, a productive combination of average and pop for a backstop.
Xavier Edwards — 2B. Leading off for Miami, Xavier Edwards gets on base at a .375 clip to go with a .293 batting average. He has also added 6 home runs and 37 RBIs, more thump than a traditional leadoff hitter typically provides.
Houston Astros
Yordan Alvarez — DH. Houston’s offense runs through Yordan Alvarez, who is hitting .326 with 33 home runs and 75 RBIs from the middle of the order. His .432 on-base percentage and .649 slugging percentage give the Astros a complete offensive threat that Miami’s pitching staff will have to navigate throughout the game.
Christian Walker — 1B. First baseman Christian Walker supplies thump behind Alvarez, hitting .234 with 20 home runs and 58 RBIs. His .310 on-base percentage trails his power numbers, but the 20 home runs give Houston length in the middle of the order.
Isaac Paredes — 3B. Isaac Paredes gives Houston another power bat at the hot corner, hitting .260 with a .352 on-base percentage and 13 home runs. He has driven in 53 runs on the season, adding depth to a lineup that leans heavy with sluggers behind Alvarez and Walker.
