Based on Spring Training production, I think Tanner Houck would have been the starter I’d been least excited to see in this opening series vs, the Orioles. In a year where he needs to prove why he deserves a spot in the rotation, getting off to the right start would be crucial and Houck’s Spring Training...left things to be desired. 1-3 with a 9.74 ERA in six starts, including nine homers given up, you’d be granted a pass in thinking the O’s offense would light him up just like they had to Kluber and Sale the two previous games.
