Specifically, the Astros’ 2019 ALDS game 1 lineup, although I’m sure this exact batting order was used multiple times throughout the 2019 season.

1. Springer 155 (wRC+)
2. Altuve 137
3. Brantley 132
4. Bregman 167
5. Alvarez 176
6. Gurriel 131
7. Correa 142
8. Chirinos 112
9. Reddick 92

Correa batting 7th says it all. It’s also worth noting that Reddick could be replaced by Tucker, who had a 121 wRC+ in 22 games.
