Braves are obviously a different team @ home.. A lot of their hitter and pitcher splits say just that.
Braves are 29-13 @ home, thats the best home record in all of baseball. Today's matchup features Latos and the Reds going against Hudson and the braves..
Latos is no doubt a solid pitcher but lets look at how he does vs the Braves
<tbody>
</tbody>
Braves hit .302 and have a .876 OPS vs Latos.
Now lets see how the Reds perform vs Hudson
<tbody>
</tbody>
Votto and Phillips combined are 4-31 with a .178 OBP.
.221 overall batting avg.. Admit its not a huge sample size, but it doesn't hurt.
Some people will look at the ERAs of both pitchers and say Latos (3.18 ERA overall) is the better pitcher. In most cases he is. But Hudson (4.03 ERA overall) is a very good home pitcher. In fact Hudson has a better whip overall.
Hudson @ home this season:
3-0 2.68 ERA .195 OPP BA
^^^
These #'s are pretty dominant.
Latos has walked 2+ batters in 4 straight games..
Here's another stat worth mentioning.
Latos WHIP last 13 starts: 1.30
Hudson WHIP last 13 starts: 1.13
Also the Braves have won 8 in a row @ home with Hudson on the mound..
Okay enough about pitching lets talk about hitting..
Last 7 games:
Cincy: .242 BA, .669 OPS...28 runs scored
ATL: .271 BA, .729 OPS...41 runs scored
You could say ATL's bats are hotter..
Most may think Cincy has the better offense, but lets look at that for a sec.
Cincy vs RHP:
.248 BA, .716 OPS,
ATL vs RHP:
.254 BA, .754 OPS
Braves are hitting .290 in the month of July...
Because of all the reasons I mentioned, I'll take the Braves at a very short # at home...
