Players to Watch: Washington Nationals vs. Boston Red Sox
Washington Nationals
Luis García Jr. — 1B. Few hitters in this lineup square the ball up like García, who carries a .279 average with a .543 slugging mark across 258 at-bats. His 16 home runs and 55 RBIs come with 14 doubles, and he has driven that production while posting a .307 OBP.
James Wood — RF. Patience defines Wood’s profile, evident in a .384 OBP that tops his .258 average by a wide margin. He brings 20 home runs and 49 RBIs to Fenway, and his 13 steals show he is a threat once he reaches base.
CJ Abrams — SS. A shortstop with this kind of pop is rare, and Abrams delivers it with 17 home runs and a .507 slugging percentage over 302 at-bats. He has knocked in 57 runs, swiped 13 bases and hit .275 across 82 games.
Boston Red Sox
Willson Contreras — 1B. Contreras has been Boston’s steadiest bat, hitting .281 with a .375 OBP and a team-shaping .898 OPS. His 17 home runs and 50 RBIs lead the way for a Red Sox club that scores in tighter quarters.
Jarren Duran — LF. Speed remains Duran’s calling card even through a lean stretch at the plate, where his average has dipped to .200 with a .617 OPS. He has still chipped in 12 home runs and 12 steals across 305 at-bats.
Wilyer Abreu — RF. Doubles are where Abreu does damage, racking up 16 of them while hitting .267 over 307 at-bats. He has added 10 home runs and 38 RBIs, pairing a .436 slugging mark with six stolen bases.
