Cleveland at Houston

The Houston Astros are 27-16 to start the season and lost the opener to the Guardians 6-1. It was just the fourth time in Houston's last 14 games they have allowed more than four runs. I expect them to bounce back against a Guardian team that is below .500 and is just 3-6 in their last nine. Zach Plesac has one start vs Houston in his career and it didn't work out well as he left the game with a 7.20 ERA. Framber Valdez has been the best pitcher overall and his lone start vs the Guardians resulted in seven innings and just two runs on four hits. I like Houston's pitching edge in this one and expect them to bounce back off a loss.
