## Resource

Yordan Alvarez is on track to become the first Houston Astro ever to win the Triple Crown, leading the league in key stats and advancing to the All-Star second round — but he’s facing off against his former teammate George Springer, now with the Blue Jays, in a heated popularity contest for the DH spot. Alvarez narrowly edged Springer in the first round, but votes reset — and Springer’s Astros legacy might sway some voters, even though his current stats pale in comparison. If Alvarez keeps hitting like this, history is his to make — and the All-Star vote could be the ultimate showdown between two former teammates.
