The Dodgers have played nowhere near expectations. The Braves set the bar pretty high with a 12-1 start, but have been just 25-21 since. Both Tim Hudson and Zack Greinke have struggled, and they both enter with identical 4.80 ERAs on the season. Greinke has a bigger upside, and is coming back from an injury, and should settle down. Hudson is an aging veteran that has not won in his last five starts. The Braves have also lost each of Hudson's last five road starts. The Dodgers have bounced back nicely after a poor offensive showing, as they are 6-0 in their last six after scoring 2 or fewer runs in their previous game. They have also been perfect in their last five anticipated pitching duels at 5-0 to a total of 7 to 8.5. Take the home team.
