Outlook Cooper Pratt
Cooper Pratt stays hot at shortstop for the first-place Brewers
Pratt has swung the bat well lately, maintaining a .300 batting average with a home run and three runs batted in over his last 14 games. The first-place Brewers sit atop the National League Central with a 64-38 record and continue to rely on the rookie as their primary everyday shortstop. He remains locked into the starting role even as the team manages minor depth injuries across the roster.
His recent hot stretch aligns well with his early major league baseline, showcasing steady contact skills and a willingness to draw walks that supports his .349 career on-base percentage. While his power will likely develop slowly as he adjusts to major league pitching, his speed remains a useful asset with seven stolen bases already. Expect sustainable across-the-board contributions rather than an unsustainable power surge.
The Brewers face a favorable six-game slate this week, opening with a home series against the Rockies. Pratt will avoid high-end pitching worries and instead match up against vulnerable arms like Tomoyuki Sugano, Ryan Feltner, and Kyle Freeland, all of whom carry bloated ERAs above 5.00 and high WHIP figures. Start.

Outlook Ernie Clement
Ernie Clement continues stellar All-Star campaign as a versatile fixture in Toronto's infield
Ernie Clement has continued to swing a hot bat, batting .297 over his last 14 games with a home run and four runs scored. The Blue Jays currently sit in fifth place in the American League East with a 46-56 record. Clement anchors the infield as the primary second baseman on the depth chart while also providing crucial defensive flexibility across multiple positions.
His current .297 batting average and .425 slugging percentage through 99 games align closely with his proven baseline production from past seasons. While his power output remains modest with eight home runs, his consistent contact and low strikeout tendencies make his recent production entirely sustainable rather than a temporary hot streak.
Toronto faces a busy seven-game week featuring matchups against Tampa Bay and Boston. Clement will see plenty of action against opposing arms, including tests against Ian Seymour and Patrick Sandoval, who carry higher ERAs and elevated WHIP metrics. Start.
