Well, while I am heavily invested in a poor season for the Astros, this seems like a good spot to back the club.
Obviously the main point of emphasis is Bud Norris. I think he has a lot going for him in this start. Last year with the Stros, Norris was 4-1 with a 1.71 earned run average at home and held opposing batters to just a .199 average while striking out more than a batter per inning pitched.
