The Astros had a game that was closer than what they would have liked to open up the season, but it still allowed the Astros to come out on top. The Astros were able to beat the Tampa Bay squad by a score of 5-1 in the game. George Springer looks like he never lost a step as he drove in 3 runners. Michael Brantley was able to hit a homer in the opening game as well.

The Rays have to figure out their offense as they are heading into this game here. The Rays only managed to get a single run in the first game of the series and the offense was looking a little bit on the weaker side. However, with the way the Rays have started off in previous years that may not be that big of a concern as they are notoriously slow starting out the gate.
Tyler Glasnow is the pitcher who the Rays are going to be sending out in this game. Glasnow has thrown in 67 games with only 28 starts under his belt. Glasnow has managed to post a 4-16 record in his career and has struck out 216 batters. Glasnow has a 5.35 ERA so far in his young career as well.

The Rays are sending out a converted reliever to start this game and that will make winning difficult for the Rays. However, the Astros are also sending out a converted reliever, but one who has made the transition a lot better so far. Look for McHugh to control the game for the Astros and for Glasnow to get roughed up in the game. Final Score, Houston Astros win 6-2.
