Between the Phillies’ Bryce Harper, Aaron Nola and Zack Wheeler and the Astros’ Yordan Alvarez, Jose Altuve and Justin Verlander, this year’s Fall Classic is about as star-studded as they come.
The Harper-Alvarez battle presents an especially interesting clash. They are the game’s two best left-handed bats, each blessed with deft plate vision and prodigious power.
Both have had legacy-defining moments in this very postseason. But only one will end the Fall Classic with a new moniker: World Series champion.
