Tim Hudson makes the start for the Braves and he has not started in Philly since 2007 where the Braves are 3-7 in their last 10. Hudson is also 3-7 in his last 10 road starts vs. teams with a winning record. Hudson has also struggled in September over the last few years with a 4.73 ERA. He struggles big time vs. Ryan Howard who just happens to be on fire at the moment. Howard is 14-47 with 6 HR's off Hudson and this last week he's 9-26 with 4 HR. Mayberry also is 2-2 with 2 HR vs. Hudson and is hitting well right now. Hudson goes up against the much younger Vance Worley, but the Braves offense is beatable scoring just 3.22 runs per 9 over their last 5 games total. He has a 5-0 record with a 1.96 ERA at home and is 8-0 with a 1.51 ERA during night starts this year. Phillies have just been great at home and are 38-18 in their last 56 vs. RH starters and 16-2 in Worley's last 18 starts. Hudson has not pitched as well on the road and he hasn't pitched in this ball park very often having 7 straight home starts vs. the Phillies this should be very different and a playoff like atmosphere.
