    I say the Astros win. Not likely but I'd like the see it happen just because some of my friends that are rangers fans like to criticize the Astros.

    Why is Yu Darvish not the ace?

    Rangers 13-1

    Astros win 1-0

    Darvish was 16-9 with a 3.90 ERA

    Matt Harrison was 18-11 with a 3.29 ERA (3.39 the year before). And I'm sure being a Ranger for several years helped.

    5-1 Astros

    Norris had a 1.71 era at home last year, even in the worst year ever he was very good at MMP

    Castro has a breakout game to start his breakout season.
    Norris goes 7 with 1er

    Stros win 6-1

    6-5 Astros. Bud goes 6 and gives up 1 while the bullpen struggles to hold on to the lead.

    I wish I could come up with a clever joke relating the small hail storm we just had to Ned Flanders' version of hell, with Houston in the American League.

    Astros haven't won the first game of the season since 2006 and they're not going to break that streak tonight.

    6-2 Rangers.
