When they moved him from the bullpen to the rotation in the second half he put up number equal to his Cy Young teammate Corey Kluber but now he has to prove it over a full season. He gets a good situation to start against a Houston lineup that has a lot of swing and miss guys.<\/p>\n It has power too but he should be able to fool some guys if he is on.<\/p>\n While the sky might have been falling in Cleveland the Astros could not have been happier with opening day. Dallas Keuchel seemed to pick up where he left off, they scratched out a few runs to win and new addition Luke Gregerson showed that he can close after being primarily a set up guy throughout his career.<\/p>\n There are a lot of ifs with this team but some positive momentum to start the year can only help. Pitching is their biggest weakness so we will see what they get on the mound in game two.<\/p>\n It is a sign that the Astros still have work to do that they are slotting in veteran righty Scott Feldman on Wednesday.<\/p>\n He has never had great stuff though he has been able to kick around from team to team because he takes the ball with regularity. What he does with it is another matter.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63745&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n He does have good career numbers against this current group of Indians hitters though.<\/p>\n This is a very favourable matchup for the Indians as they look to get on the board.<\/p>\n\n
