Dud: Adolis Garcia

After his ALCS and Game 1 heroics, Adolis Garcia has cooled off in a major way.

Garcia struggled once again at the plate on Monday, going hitless with a strikeout and walk in Game 3. This follows a paltry Game 2 from the electric right fielder, which saw him also record a strikeout and walk with no hits across three at-bats.

No one's blaming the ALCS MVP, though, His insane power display to close out the Astros simply wasn't going to last all World Series long, so we all expected him to come down from that insane high.

Instead, the bigger concern is regards to Garcia's health. He was forced to leave Game 3 after appearing to hurt his left side during his at-bat in the eighth inning, which could have big implications for the rest of the series.

A tight turnaround with Games 4-5 on Tuesday and Wednesday leaves little time for Garcia to recover, but hopefully the slugger isn't forced to miss any time.
