Houston Astros (1-1) vs Chicago White Sox (1-1)

I love the Astros here. Houston got on the board on Friday and while Jose Urquidy isn’t a staff ace, he’s a solid mid-rotation arm for the Astros. Lucas Giolito was supposed to be the White Sox staff ace, but Dylan Cease has assumed that role and it’s not like Giolito’s done much to make a case for himself. He wasn’t great last year with a 4.90 ERA, but Giolito also posted a 16.88 ERA in two starts against Houston, allowing 15 runs in eight innings of work. I’m not sure we see numbers like that here, but I feel that the Astros are the better team side-by-side and I look for them to get back-to-back wins here. Give me Houston.
