3 months agoHouston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez blasted a solo shot in the ninth inning of the Astros' 5-3 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night. The solo shot, his 33rd HR of the season, was Alvarez's only hit of the day though he did record a second RBI on a sacrifice fly in the second inning. The lefty has been on fire in the second half of the season, hitting for a 1.054 OPS and knocking 14 of his 33 HR in the second half. Fantasy managers should continue to keep Alvarez in their starting lineups at all costs. With the Astros holding a 4.5 game lead in the AL West they'll need Alvarez to continue his MVP caliber production until the division is locked up. Alvarez should continue dominating lefties on the road tonight as the Astros face off against Angels lefty Tyler Anderson, who Alvarez is 6-14 against in his career with two doubles and two HR. DFS managers specifically should target Alvarez tonight given his familiarity with Anderson combined his 205 wRC+ split against lefties on the road in 2024.--Kevin Larson - RotoBaller
