Juan Soto Will Be X-Factor In World Series
5 years agoWashington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto will try and turn his mediocre postseason around when the team plays the Astros Tuesday night in Game 1 of the World Series. Soto enjoyed an elite offensive season but has struggled in the postseason. Through 38 playoff at-bats, Soto is slashing only .237/.326/.421 with only three extra-base hits. Soto will have a tough matchup in Game 1 against all-world starter Gerrit Cole. The 20-year-old slugger's road splits also depress his fantasy value in Game 1, posting an .877 OPS in 73 regular season road games compared to a 1.016 mark at home.
