don't plot the first number on the x axis because it's too near to the y axis

x=[0:0.01:20]
y1=blsprice(x,10,0.02,0.2,0.2)-blsprice(10,10,0.02,0.2,0.2)
y2=max(x-10,0)-blsprice(10,10,0.02,0.2,0.2)

plot(x,y1,'k',x,y2)

xlabel('Stock Price at Maturity ($)');
ylabel('Gain ($)');
axis([8.5 11.5  -0.5 1]);

text(10.225,-0.2,'Time value')
annotation(gcf,'doublearrow',[0.2 0.2],[0.2 0.1])

set(gca,'Box','off')

I would like to plot the following and to leave out the 8.5 on the x-axis, is that possible? all the other numbers (9,9.5,10,10.5,11,11.5) I would like to keep
