Houston was a solid 51-30 at home in the regular season while the White Sox finished a game below .500 on the road at 40-41. Lynn was just 2-3 with a 3.66 ERA over 66.1 innings in 12 starts in the second half of the season. He gave up as many homers (nine) in those outings as he did over 90.2 innings in his 16 first half starts. Houston led the league in HR's and has the ability to get to pitchers, even veteran ones like Lynn, and he has struggled against the Astros in his career. Give the edge to the Astros as they come up with the victory here to open things up in game 1.
