Rating: 10/10*

The Baltimore Orioles and the Houston Astros will open a three-game series at Minute Maid Park Friday night.

Kevin Gausman (2-3, 6.65 ERA) takes the ball for Baltimore. He's allowed a total of nine runs through 16 1/3 innings of work in his last three starts, and it could have been even worse with 24 hits allowed during that span. Gausman has surrendered nine runs in 11 2/3 frames in two career starts against Houston.

The Astros turn to Joe Musgrove (3-4, 5.63 ERA). Musgrove lost his only career start against the Orioles when he surrendered eight runs and 11 hits in 5 1/3 frames at Baltimore last year. The right-hander was charged with seven runs on eight hits and three walks in just three innings of an 8-6 home loss to Cleveland his last time out, and he has posted a 6.44 ERA through six home starts on the season.
