2018 Stats: .316 AVG, 13 HR, 61 RBI, .451 SLG
The reigning MVP comes into the playoffs in a slight slump. He hit just .256 in the final month of the regular season and hasn’t recorded a hit in his last 14 at-bats. The second baseman has also been bothered by knee issues in the second half of the season. But make no mistake about it. The 5-foot-6 Venezuelan is still one of the best clutch hitters in this postseason. His heroics helped Houston win its first World Series championship last year.
