Two of the best hitters in the National League are on teams the Red Sox are playing in this six-game stretch. Bryce Harper is wowing the league as a teenage slugger with the Nationals, and Giancarlo Stanton has helped Miami's inaugural year at its new ballpark with his hot hitting.
The Red Sox may think they're getting the worst of it by having to face those two, but are Harper and Stanton the most dangerous hitters in the National League right now?
Joey Votto, the NL MVP in 2010, has been ridiculous again this season. He's hitting .355, including 10 home runs, 38 RBIs and 48 walks to go along with his .631 slugging average.
And Ryan Braun, the reigning MVP, is hitting .311 this year with 15 bombs and 40 RBIs.
Stanton can make his case with his .294 average, 14 home runs and 42 RBIs. And Harper, although batting a less torrid .282, has homered six times and knocked in 17 runs since his call-up on April 28.
