While Opening Day will look a little more normal in 2021, the Houston Astros have one reoccurring thing: 9:07 p.m. start times for West Coast matchups. As the Astros take the field for their first regular season game with fans since 2019, some fans might have more questions about April 1 from their couches at home.

Although the team is starting their season away against the Oakland Athletics, broadcasts will be back on their regular schedule, while also having ESPN take part.
