New York Mets Over 4 -105 vs Atlanta Braves (Tim Hudson)
Hudson coming off a stellar outing at Turner Field (RHP's Park) vs Colorado Rockies, a relatively young team inwhich few of the players had seen him pitch before. Before that game nobody on the Rockies roster had seen more than 6 at-bats vs Hudson. It's not surprising he mowed them down. Also the Rockies are not great RHP hitting team. They crush lefties but have struggled vs righties.
Hudson does have experience vs the Mets. Now first, he's coming off a very strong outing vs the Mets on April 19th (3 H, 1 ER, CG). One caveat about that performance was that there was a very strong wind blowing in fromt left field that day, aiding his performance.
Today, the forecast has the wind blowing out to center/right field at 6-9 MPH (similar to last night, the ball was carrying out there all night!). Under similar weather circumstances late last season, Hudson gave up 3 solo HRs in 6 IP vs the Mets.
Mets are batting .286 vs Righties in their last 10 games.

Kaz Matsui, 2 for 4 (.500)
* The over is 5-1 in Umpire Randy Marsh 6 appearances behind the plate this year, average of 11 runs per game. Last season the over in Marsh umped games 20-14 with 10.03 run per game average.
* Atlanta's bullpen failed them once again last night. Atlanta used EIGHT pitchers out of the pen last night. They had to goto Jorge Sosa late in the game because they ran out of arms. The pressure is on Hudson to go deep into this game.
