Players to Watch: Milwaukee Brewers vs. St. Louis Cardinals
Milwaukee Brewers
William Contreras — C. William Contreras is hitting .284 this season behind the plate for Milwaukee, pairing that average with a .349 on-base percentage. His .401 slugging percentage shows he’s not just a contact hitter, spraying the ball into gaps often enough to keep opposing pitchers honest.
Jake Bauers — 1B. Jake Bauers has turned into a steady power source at first base for Milwaukee, hitting .265 with 16 home runs and 54 RBIs this season. He gives the Brewers a middle-of-the-order bat capable of a two-run swing on any given night.
Jackson Chourio — LF. Jackson Chourio is putting together a strong second full season in left field, batting .282 with 13 home runs and 36 RBIs. His .502 slugging percentage stands out in Milwaukee’s lineup, evidence that his power is climbing right along with his average.
St. Louis Cardinals
Jordan Walker — RF. Jordan Walker has emerged as the engine of the St. Louis lineup, batting .294 with 21 home runs, 70 RBIs and a .534 slugging percentage. He’s the rare Cardinal doing damage across the board, and the Cardinals need his bat to stay hot to keep pace in the NL Central.
Alec Burleson — 1B. Alec Burleson has quietly been one of St. Louis’ most productive bats, hitting .277 with 15 home runs and 66 RBIs. His .474 slugging percentage trails only Walker’s .534 mark among the Cardinals’ regulars, giving St. Louis a second consistent power threat in the middle of the order.
Iván Herrera — DH. Iván Herrera brings a patient approach to the middle of the Cardinals’ order, hitting .251 with a .386 on-base percentage. He’s added 11 home runs and 40 RBIs from the DH spot, giving St. Louis another table-setter capable of extending innings.
