There is no question that Blanco on the mound for Houston is the better pitcher in this game. He pitched 14 no hit innings and has been solid this season, despite the Rangers being the team to end his streak. The Astros haven't gotten off to the best start this season but they are at home, and are working through their pitching and bullpen issues, and should beat the Rangers in this game. Heaney has been okay against Houston, he is 4-5 versus the Astros with an ERA of 4.13. The team has lost ten of his 17 starts when he's on the mound, and he's already gone up against the Astros last week and lost, giving up 7 earned runs, 3 walks and one homerun. This is going to be a repeat performance where the Astros come out on top as they have seen Heaney many times and do well against left handed pitchers. This is a great bounce back spot for the Astros.

Best bet: take Houston on the moneyline (ML).
