Cy Young Award winner Dallas Keuchel comes off a 2015 season in which he was 20-8 with a 2.48 ERA with 216 strikeouts in 232 innings. The left-hander was 2-0 and did not give up a run in 16 innings against the Yankees, whose hitters are batting just .233 against him. Masahiro Tanaka was 12-7 last season and allowed six runs in five innings against the Astros. Houston batters that have faced him are hitting .310 against Tanaka, who was the loser against Keuchel and the Astros in last year's Wild Card game. Houston arguably has an even better team than last year's playoff squad and gets the call here at a reasonable price. Play the Astros.
