Take Atlanta -$115
Once opposites in an American League rivalry, Andy Pettitte and Tim Hudson take their postseason pitching prowess to the National League.
The two hurlers matched up just once in a pair of AL division series between Pettitte's New York Yankees and Hudson's Oakland Athletics, but it was a classic.
In Game Two of the 2001 ALDS, Hudson pitched the Athletics to a 2-0 win in Yankee Stadium, yielding just six hits in eight dominant innings. Pettitte allowed only one run in 6 1/3 frames in the loss, one of just eight in his 21 career playoff decisions.
Pettitte is 4-1 with a 3.46 ERA in seven career regular-season starts against the Braves. However, in four playoff starts vs. Atlanta, he is 1-1 with a 7.53 ERA. Tim Hudson is 0-0 with a 0.56 ERA in two career starts vs. the Astros.
Atlanta took five of the six meetings between the teams in the regular season. Hudson tossed nine scoreless frames opposite Roger Clemens on April 18 in a game won by the Braves in 12 innings, 1-0.
