St. Louis at Atlanta

The Cardinals erupted for 9 runs against the pitching-challenged staff of the Astros, but will see something a lot more unhittable tonight facing Tim Hudson and Atlanta. Hudson has pitched to impressive on-base percentage numbers this season. He’s picking up where he left off last year, allowing opposing hitters to reach base to just a .280 mark. The majority of the time, Chris Carpenter is bringing "A" stuff to the mound and when he is on, you'll see a lot of goose-eggs on the scoreboard. The Braves sport a 17-8 mark to the UNDER in Hudson's last 25 starts as a favorite, including 9-1 vs. a team that scored 5+ in their last game. The total finishes UNDER in this one.
