Despite this, catcher William Contreras has been performing exceptionally well, with eight home runs and a .950 OPS on the season. Milwaukee has a strong offense, averaging 5.02 runs per game, but their pitching ranks 12th with a 3.93 ERA. The team is ranked 3 in offense, 10 in defense, and has a 30-21 record for the season.

The Red Sox have been near .500 all season but recently rebounded with a three-game sweep in Tampa Bay. Rafael Devers has been on a rampage with seven home runs and 16 RBIs this month. The Red Sox are scoring an average of 4.45 runs per game, ranking them 13th, and have a strong pitching staff with a 3.07 ERA, ranking them second.
