Wednesday's card contains a total of eight pitchers with ERA's under 3.00 over their last three starts combined. Another day of inter league play and a chance for some ice cold pitchers to turn things around as there are a total of six pitchers that have ERA's over 6.00 over their last three starts combined.

Yankees +106 (1* FREE PLAY)
The Yankees as under dogs? I'll take it especially since Hiroki Kuroda has turned his season around with an ERA of 3.46 while posting a 2-1 record and 0.68 WHIP with a 0.82 ERA over his last three starts combined. Kuroda has been on fire and to see him as an under dog against a Braves team he feasted on with quality starts in all 5 of his career starts while posting a 2.23 ERA is kind of surprising. The Braves hitters own 76 AB and only a .619 OPS against him. Kuroda has been pretty consistent in his career with a 3.36 ERA on the road over the last three years and an ERA of 3.05 in June. Tim Hudson has great stats too, but he has not been quite as consistent of late or against the Yankees.

First of all he has not faced the Yankees since 2006, but the Yankee hitters own a .790 OPS in 163 AB which is more than the Braves can say against Hiroki Kuroda. Hudson has also struggled for whatever reason at home as he posts a 5.92 ERA in 4 home starts this season.

R.A. Dickey (3-0, 0.72 WHIP, 0.00 ERA)

Cold Starter Of The Day:
Once again I have to give the best chance to Matt Garza to win his game on Wednesday despite posting a 4.76 ERA over his last three starts. He'll go up against Rick Porcello who posts a 1.76 WHIP in his last 3 starts with a 4.24 ERA. Porcello however has a 4.97 ERA on the road while Garza has been solid at home with a 1.91 ERA.

Notable Cold Starters:
Kyle Drabek (0-3, 2.05 WHIP, 8.59 ERA)
Derek Lowe (1-2, 1.86 WHIP, 10.29 ERA)
Luke Hochevar (1-2, 1.70 WHIP, 6.46 ERA)
Alex White (2-1, 1.47 WHIP, 6.11 ERA)
Hector Noesi (2-1, 1.41 WHIP, 8.27 ERA)
