Houston Astros
This is being written before the first game is complete so it might be a little similar. Houston has a great lineup but it is definitely righty heay so their former teammate might have more success than the reigning Cy Young winner did in the opener.

Gerrit Cole made a great push for being considered for the big pitching award last season too in his first season with the Astris. He is in his prime and there is no reason to expect a letdown in 2019. He should be sharp from the word go too.
Tampa Bay Rays
This will be the second game and still no opener it seems for TB. Charlie Morton was great in Houston last season and now he hopes to continue his late career resurgence in TB. That does not always work but there is no reason to think it can’t.

The Tampa lineup is not scary and there is a great chance they are dominated the day before by Justin Verlander. If that happens then a mini slump the next day would not be a shocker. Tommy Pham is most familiar with Cole as they used to play in the NL Central together.

This one could come off around a pick’em. Both starters are good and there might be a perceived advantage with Morton knowing the team.

The same could be true in reverse though and I think the Astros get the win here to get off to a good start to the season.
