(DK) Bucking the weather trends here because both pitchers have xERAs within 0.1 of 5.00 and SIERAs within 0.17 of 4.50. Both offenses > 110 wRC+ Hm/Rd & > 105 v RHP. Both proj. Lus > 110 v RHP since LY. Two solid defenses (CHC maybe beset), but also a pair of bottom third of the league pen estimators L30 days (HOU 2nd worst).
