MLB Weekend Watch: Our takes on Pujols, Keuchel, Yankees-Astros and more

An historic homecoming, a delayed debut and a marquee matchup in the Bronx have our attention this weekend. Here's what we're thinking and what we're looking for.

The big storyline of the weekend is Albert Pujols' return to St. Louis (Angels at Cardinals, Friday, 8 p.m., ESPN+; Sunday, 7 p.m., ESPN). Among hitters you've seen, does anyone match Pujols in his prime?

Eddie Matz: Aside from Barry Bonds and his trusty asterisk, the only guy that's even in the same ballpark is Miguel Cabrera. But he never controlled the strike zone the way that Pujols did.
