New York already has injuries to the starting rotation, so Clay Holmes gets the opening nod. Batters hit .236 off Holmes last year at home but .258 on the road. Houston was 11th in runs scored in 2024 and seventh in on-base percentage. Starter Framber Valdez has had ERAs of 2.82, 3.45, and 2.82 in each of the last three years and the Astros have an elite closer in Josh Hader. Houston was 46-35 at home last season, winning the division with a +91 run differential, tied for the second-best in the AL. Play Houston.
