Analysis

This is a 4* play on HOU. The Astros host the Yankees on Opening Day, and New York comes into the 2024 season without their ace. It will be Nestor Cortes starting in place of Gerrit Cole on Opening Day. Over 13 2/3 innings this spring he posted an 8.10 ERA and a 1.74 WHIP. The Astros hand the ball to Framber Valdez, who was lights out in the first half of last season. Houston finished first in the AL West last year, and they were tied with AL leaders Baltimore with a +129 run differential. GL, Jesse Schule
