Oberholtzer will start the Astros' second Grapefruit League game Friday against St. Louis, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

Oberholtzer posted a disappointing 5-13 record and a 4.39 ERA in 2014, but a 3.62 FIP suggests he was a bit unlucky last season. The 25-year-old southpaw is likely to open 2015 as the No. 4 starter in Houston's starting rotation.
