Hudson will be on short leash Saturday.

[smitch124]

While Hudson's overall statistics look decent, he has been absolutely awful for the better part of the last 2 months for the Giants. The bookmakers know this, placing the Nats as a huge -210 favorite. I can't see Bochy or Righetti giving Hudson too much latitude tomorrow, look for Lincecum at the first sign of trouble.

[Rich Boy]

Hudson is a veteran guy with lots of experience, he will not get rocked.

He will give up his hits but will get some ground balls and stay in the game. Im taking SF ML on this one

[ajt6]

I'm surprised the line is higher than Strasburg was today.

[crustyme]

every pitcher is on a short leash in the playoffs.

[CarloTwoGuns]

Following you with SF ML

[TheLock]

Zimmerman pitched a no no in his last start. I typically like fading pitchers the first outing after a gem but this line makes me weary of doing that.

nmnmnmnmnmnmnmnm

[CWD]

he's very small and was breaking down in september/october over a decade ago why is this a surprise to anyone his bad second half

[laclippers504]

I don't trust the Nationals in this spot.

Don't care who is pitching

Giants moneyline small or no play for me

[CollegeOverUnder]

As a giants fan , I can tell you were just hoping hudson makes it 4 or 5 innings scoreless , then bring in the bullpen to finish it off

[Mase of Base]

Hudsons been average for awhile now, I'm very confident that continues tomorrow. Zimmerman threw 104 in his no hitter, just a regular outing so no issue there (obviously without the emotion it may of sapped but if you can't get up for a playoff start....).

But Panda owns Zim and is on a tear, there gonna be some runs folks.

Giants look too easy line makes no sense

[the_orangekat]

Love the Giants ML call.

[RavensFan2k3]

Giants look too easy line makes no sense

Thats what I was thinking

[jjgold]

A must win for Washington or the series is over

[DrunkHorseplayer]

Giants know how to win in the playoffs; +190 is ridiculous. I'm on them large.

[pavyracer]

Hudson with a gem today. He plays good in October. Zimmerman should not be -230.

[cankid]

I agree gluck

[TheLock]

I stated away from this game.

Zimmerman coming off no hitter; no way I'm on him and SFO line too good to be true.

[pavyracer]

Hudson not bad. Manager knew they will play for 8 hours and gave him a long leash.
