Went ahead and put a small play on Houston ML. Medium play on the U 8.5. As LBJ said, Norris is solid at home. ML play is more for fun but I really like the under. Both pitchers should last 6-7 innings. Will be tough for either team to put up more than a few runs.
GL fellas, get that

Last year, lefties hit .209/.244/.327 against him. Righties hit .276/.330/.434.
(In his career, the split isn't quite as extreme, but it's still there: .695 OPS by lefty hitters, .772 by righties).
So a big part of handicapping Harrison starts is to determine how many righthanded bats the opponent is able to get int he lineup against him.... if a team starts 4 or more lefties, or if they have several lefties in the key top 5 spots in the order... Harrison could potentially be dominant. If a team can get 6 or more righties in the lineup, he could be in trouble.
According to mlb.com, the Astro projected opening day lineup is
1. 2B: Jose Altuve (bats right)
2. 1B: Brett Wallace (left)
3. LF: Chris Carter (right)
4. DH: Carlos Pena (left)
5. CF: Justin Maxwell (right)
6. C: Jason Castro (left)
7. 3B: Matt Dominguez (right)
8. RF: Rick Ankiel (left)
9. SS: Ronny Cedeno (right)
That's 4 lefties in the lineup, including the #2 and #4 and #6 hitters. And, of course, it's a pretty weak lineup to start with. So it's a pretty advantageous spot for Harrison.

One thing to remember about this game. There are 2,429 games yet to go in the regular season alone. It is not necessary to play at all if there is no true discernible edge versus the line or total. In my opinion the money line is right on and the total is probably about right. BOL
