over Tampa Bay
Hudson is 3-0 with a 1.78 ERA in his last three home starts.
10 of Hudson’s last 11 starts and 11 of his 13 starts this season have been quality starts.
- Hudson has allowed more than two runs only twice this season. He allowed three runs in six innings at St. Louis on April 26, and he allowed four runs in seven innings at Los Angeles on June 6.
In 10 career starts against Tampa Bay, Hudson is 6-1 with a 2.85 ERA.
Shields is 1-5 with a 5.80 ERA in his last seven starts.
- Shields is 0-4 with an ERA of 8.53 in his last four starts. In his last start, he allowed ten runs, nine hits, and three walks in 3.1 IP in a 14-9 loss to Florida on Friday.
In his last three starts, Shields has a WHIP of more than 2.00 – he has allowed 30 hits and five walks in only 15.2 IP.
Shields is 1-2 in his last three road starts. His ERA is only 3.58 in those three starts, but if you include the six unearned runs he’s allowed over those three starts, he’s allowed 14 runs in only 20.1 IP in those starts, which isn‘t exactly too appealing of a number.
He’s also allowed 29 hits in those three starts.
The Braves have lost only one series at home all season (6-1 in three-game series, one win and a split in their two two-game series).
