With Brayan Bello (11-9, 3.35 ERA last season) starting for the Red Sox against Hunter Brown, Houston's ace atop a retooled rotation featuring newcomers Tatsuya Imai and Mike Burrows, traders eye a strong Astros home edge at Daikin Park in this interleague series opener. Boston's offense faces hurdles without first baseman Triston Casas (ruptured patellar tendon, out until May) and starter Patrick Sandoval (post-UCL surgery on IL), while Houston regains shortstop Jeremy Peña post-finger injury after missing the opener but lacks closer Josh Hader (biceps tendinitis, late April return). Early-season momentum tilts slightly Astros' way amid their postseason push, though both bullpens carry depth questions from spring ailments.
