Postponement changes one team's plans
Yordan Alvarez now has to face Ranger Suárez, the Phillies' one lefty starter, in Game 3 of the World Series instead of Game 4 … and that means potentially in a Game 7, too. You'd think that would be an edge for Philadelphia -- more opportunity to neutralize the Astros' most dangerous hitter with the platoon advantage.
But is it?
Suárez got Alvarez in relief in Game 1, striking him out on a nasty sinker on the low-inside corner. But in his career, Alvarez has been historically good in lefty-lefty matchups. |
