Best Batter Today

The idle Freddie Freeman of the Dodgers and Aaron Judge of the Yankees stay 1-2 in the Baseball Musings Batter Rankings, while Brandon Nimmo of the Mets moves down to fifth place. Astros teammates Alex Bregman and Yordan Alvarez rank third and fourth respectively. Bregman homered in four trips to the plate on Saturday, while Alvarez doubled and walked. The Astros beat the Phillies 5-2.

The best game score of the night belongs to Jose Altuve of the Astros, three for four with a double for a score of 65. Altuve slumped through most of the playoffs, going 0 for 16 in the ALDS and three for sixteen in the ALCS. He’s now four for nine in the World Series and hitting .273 overall. It’s another example of why you shouldn’t trust small sample sizes.
