Note: The Astros and Cubs meet in Houston in this season opener when Houston sends Roy Oswalt to the hill against Chicago. Despite getting shelled in the World Baseball Classic semifinal game, Oswalt actually had a strong spring camp where he issued only 1 walk against 13 strikeouts. With Oswalt 35-14 with a 2.75 ERA in his home team starts the last three seasons, and also sporting a 1.23 ERA at home against the Cubs over the same span, look for him to make amends for the WBC disaster with a strong effort here tonight.
