The Houston Astros open the regular season in Arlington against the Texas Rangers. The season is sure to start off with a bang against a division rival in a four game series. It has long been known that Justin Verlander will open the season on March 29th.
Dallas Keuchel was always the assumed guy to follow up Verlander in game two. The duo of Verlander and Keuchel, if healthy, should be one of the most dominant in the league next season. However, depending on match ups, these two have the potential to flip in the order.
