The Houston Astros have been without the services of masher Yordan Alvarez since May, but with the MLB playoffs just over a month away, Alvarez is apparently ready to return to the lineup from his fractured hand.

While the Astros are still in first place in the American League West, they’re just 20th in the Major Leagues in runs scored and are middle of the road in slugging percentage. Alvarez, with his four 30-home run seasons and career .573 slugging, will provide a massive punch back to the middle of the Astros lineup as they gear up for another playoff run.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Alvarez has 167 regular season home runs with another 12 in 60 career postseason games. With that being said, how many of the active MLB players with the most playoff home runs can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
