Players to Watch: San Diego Padres vs. St. Louis Cardinals
San Diego Padres
Fernando Tatis Jr. — RF. Hitting .282 with a .347 on-base percentage, Tatis is the table-setter San Diego counts on to start rallies from the top of the order. His .350 slugging shows a season tilted more toward contact and getting on base than the over-the-fence damage he has produced in the past.
Manny Machado — 3B. Machado carries the Padres’ power profile with 12 home runs and 35 RBIs, the most of any San Diego hitter in this matchup. His .175 average reflects a cold stretch at the plate, but the run production keeps him in the middle of the order.
Gavin Sheets — 1B. Sheets has supplied steady left-handed pop with 11 home runs and 30 RBIs. A .458 slugging percentage tied to a .322 on-base mark makes him one of the Padres’ more productive bats against right-handed pitching.
St. Louis Cardinals
Jordan Walker — RF. Walker is the engine of the St. Louis offense, hitting .294 with 18 home runs and 56 RBIs. His .554 slugging percentage paired with a .348 on-base mark makes him the most complete bat in tonight’s lineup card.
Alec Burleson — 1B. Burleson gives the Cardinals a second high-average power source, batting .287 with 13 home runs and 51 RBIs. The .496 slugging percentage and .352 on-base mark let St. Louis stack threats around Walker.
Ivan Herrera — DH. Herrera leads this lineup in getting on base with a .398 on-base percentage to go with his .267 average. He has chipped in 9 home runs and 31 RBIs, and that patience at the plate lengthens the St. Louis order against San Diego’s staff.
