In 22 innings against the Reds, Hudson has only given up a modest 16 hits but has only conceded 5 runs mostly because of an impressive 26/4 k/bb ratio. This kid has good stuff against Cincinnati and there's no reason to think the Reds bats are gonna figure it out off this guy. And I'm sure you already know what Leake has been up to this week. The only reason the Reds are favored in this game is because the public is pounding them as they chase the losses they've had all series as Arizona has beaten them three games in a row as underdogs. Make it four.
