Yordan Alvarez played in 48 games in 2025 for the Astros and had an OPS+ of 121. In his 6 years in Houston, he has averaged a 163 OPS+

Over the last three years, his xwOBA, the expected output based on how hard he actually hits the ball, was .420. His actual wOBA was .397. He underperformed his own expected numbers by 22 points. Luck was not on his side.

Any discussion that the Astros dynasty is over needs to be curtailed as long as Yordan keeps suiting up. The AL West has a chance of being a dogfight in ‘26
