The visitors hand the ball to 40 year old Tim Hudson (8-8, 4.20 ERA) who departed his last start with a 4-1 lead because of a hip injury. Hudson is retiring after the season ends but will get one last start throwing opposite his old buddy Barry Zito; note that Hudson owns a pedestrian 4.70 ERA on the road this year. Zito (0-0, 18.00 ERA) will make his first start since 2013, but is only expected to get up to 50 pitches in this one. While this is a great story, it would seem to be more of a circus side show than a real baseball game, so with each starter expected to only see a few innings, there's no question that the OVER does indeed become worthy of a second look in this one.
