Players to Watch: St. Louis Cardinals vs. LA Dodgers
St. Louis Cardinals
Jordan Walker — RF. Walker is hitting .288 with 28 home runs and 99 RBIs as the primary power source in the St. Louis outfield. His .505 slugging percentage pairs with a .345 on-base mark, giving the Cardinals a power-and-patience combination in a lineup that has otherwise struggled to keep pace with the league’s top offenses this season.
Alec Burleson — 1B. Burleson’s 100 RBIs edge out Jordan Walker’s 99 for the team lead, with 21 home runs and a .285 average rounding out his season line at first base. He’s given the Cardinals a steady middle-of-the-order presence all year, one of the few consistent bright spots for a St. Louis offense fighting to stay competitive down the stretch.
LA Dodgers
Freddie Freeman — 1B. A .303 average anchors Freeman’s season at first base for the Dodgers, with a .377 on-base percentage and a .459 slugging mark rounding out one of the steadier bats in the Los Angeles order. His track record of consistency has made him a fixture near the top of the lineup all year.
Shohei Ohtani — DH. Ohtani has driven in 80 runs to go with 30 home runs and a .281 average as the Dodgers’ designated hitter, giving Los Angeles a middle-of-the-order threat capable of changing a game with a single swing. His combination of power and contact keeps opposing pitching staffs on alert every time he steps into the box.
