5. Dynamic duo: Altuve, Correa both get top billing for Astros
When it comes to dynamic duos, there’s often a clear-cut top dog and a trusty sidekick.
That’s not the case with second baseman Jose Altuve and shortstop Carlos Correa, Houston’s middle-infield combo who both shine equally bright for the Astros.
“A lot of times you have one All-Star caliber (player) and like a ... Robin,” manager Dusty Baker said. “But this time you’ve got two Batmans.”
The pair played its 66th postseason game together on Saturday, which is the most by any shortstop and second base duo in MLB history.
