3 years agoHouston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve will start and hit leadoff in Game 5 of the ALCS against left-handed starter Chris Sale and the Red Sox. Altuve is hitting only .219 through 32 postseason at-bats but has hit some huge home runs. Altuve went 1-for-4 in Game 4, including a game-tying home run in the eighth inning that gave the Astros new life. The former MVP is slugging .563 in the playoffs with two doubles, three home runs, seven runs batted in and 13 runs scored through eight games.--Joey C - RotoBaller
