MLB:
If Astros' other bats don't heat up, should Alvarez be considered the core of the lineup, and how many games could he carry the team?
Qwiket AI:
Alvarez becomes the central engine when the rest falter. Expect him to carry a disproportionate share of power and run production for 2-3 weeks, then taper as teammates heat up. His stability lowers downside risk for Houston bettors and fantasy rosters alike, though the surrounding lineup still matters for full-season value.
