New York Yankees at Atlanta Braves\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
New York Yankees 3B Alex Rodriguez has had great success against tonight's opposing starting pitcher<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

New York has won five games in a row and will go for the sweep against Atlanta in this contest, scoring six runs in the top of the eighth inning in a 6-4 win on Tuesday night.\u00a0 \u201cWhat a game, right,\u201d commented Yankees outfielder Nick Swisher after the come-from-behind victory.\u00a0 The Yankees were led by third baseman Alex Rodriguez, who tied Lou Gehrig on the all-time list with 23 grand slams.\u00a0 The club is now 9-2 in June, outscoring opponents by a 58-28 margin.\u00a0 New York is 2-4 as a road underdog of +100 to +125, with the \u201cover\u201d going 3-2 in those contests.<\/p>\n

Yankees starting pitcher Hiroki Kuroda (5-6, 3.46 ERA) has watched the club alternate wins and losses over his last four outings, coming off a 9-1 home win over the New York Mets, tossing seven shutout innings and allowing just one hit.\u00a0 The right-hander has tallied a 1-4 record and 4.17 ERA in six road outings, surrendering six home runs in 36.2 frames.\u00a0 In five career outings versus the Braves, Kuroda has gone 1-4 with a 2.10 ERA, holding them to a .192 batting average.<\/p>\n

Atlanta was unable to hold onto a 4-0 lead late in the game, something that the entire dugout was comfortable with until New York\u2019s offense exploded in the eighth inning.\u00a0 \u201cYou feel comfortable with a four-run lead with five outs to go,\u201d stated Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez.\u00a0 The Braves are now 4-4 during interleague play this year, while going 2-8 all-time when hosting the Yankees in Atlanta.<\/p>\n

Braves starting pitcher Tim Hudson (4-2, 3.83 ERA) has watched the club win his last two outings due to the offense scoring 21 combined runs over that span, but he contributed in a major way last time out, pitching a shutout on the road against the Miami Marlins.\u00a0 The right-hander has gone 2-1 with a 5.92 ERA in four home starts in 2012, but has not allowed a home run in 24.1 frames.\u00a0 In 10 career starts versus the Bronx Bombers, Hudson has registered a 1-3 record and 3.78 ERA, but will need to pitch carefully to Alex Rodriguez.\u00a0 He is batting .359 (14-for-39) with three home runs and eight RBIs in his career against Hudson.<\/p>\n

Bettors will likely back the Braves due to their 12-3 record in Hudson\u2019s last 15 home starts, while the Yankees are 4-9 as a road underdog.<\/p>\n
