Who’s Hot: Ketel Marte And The Arizona Diamondbacks
Ketel Marte’s nine-game hit streak led the Diamondbacks to wins in eight of their last nine games. Marte had multiple hits in seven of those nine games, slashing .586/.625/1.069 in the last seven days.
On Tuesday, May 19, Marte’s batting average was .222 for the season. A week later, he has a .275 batting average and looks to stay hot against the struggling San Francisco Giants.
Who’s Not: Dansby Swanson And The Chicago Cubs
The Chicago Cubs have lost nine straight games as a part of a 2-13 skid. That losing streak has now put them back into the middle of the pack for the NL Central and NL pennant race, with their pennant odds dropping to +800 on Tuesday.
Shortstop Dansby Swanson has struggled immensely, recording just two hits in his last 17 at bats across the last seven days. Across Chicago’s brutal 15-game stretch where they’ve won just two games, Swanson is batting .132 (5-38) with only two walks and 12 strikeouts.
What To Watch For In This Week’s NL Pennant Race
- Diamondbacks get opportunity to stack more wins with two games against the Giants and three games against the Seattle Mariners before a four-game series with the Dodgers
- Brewers can stay hot against the Cardinals and Astros before easier stretch against Giants and Rockies
- Phillies begin brutal NL West gauntlet with Padres/Dodgers/Padres after dropping five of their last seven games
