The Diamondbacks are playing good baseball right now having won two straight games and five of their last six games overall. They’ll turn to new acquisition Daniel Hudson on Wednesday night. Hudson is 2-0 with a 1.15 ERA in two starts since joining the Diamondbacks. Hudson has struck out eight and walked three while holding batters to a .113 average. Only George Kotteras (0-1) has seen Hudson before for Milwaukee. The Brewers are 27-30 at home this season while hitting just .252 as a team there. They may be without Corey Hart and Ryan Braun for another game and both are important pieces of their lineup.

Milwaukee’s Dave Bush has a hard time being consistent as a starting pitcher. He’s 5-9 with a 4.49 ERA in 22 starts this season. The righty has given up 12 runs and 23 hits over his last 17 innings of work. Bush hasn’t faced the Diamondbacks yet this season. Adam LaRoche (5-18), Chris Young (5-15), Stephen Drew (6-14), Mark Reynolds (5-13), Kelly Johnson (3-9), and Augie Ojeda (3-8) have good career numbers against Bush. With Arizona in good current form and Bush being so erratic, we’ll recommend a play on the Diamondbacks plus the generous price in this game tonight.
