Fantasy Impact:

Brown will make his first career Opening Day start after Framber Valdez, who joined the Detroit Tigers this offseason, handled the assignment the previous four years for Houston. Brown posted a stellar 2.43 ERA and 1.03 WHIP with 206 strikeouts across 185.1 innings last season. The Astros open the season March 26 against the Los Angeles Angels.
