Milwaukee Brewers (13-15 through May 2)<\/strong>
\nZack Greinke (no record)<\/p>\n

The Milwaukee Brewers have kinda, sorta kept their heads above water in the National League Central through the first month and that was probably all they feel they needed to do until Wednesday \u2013 when their new ace finally makes his season debut.<\/p>\n

Zack Greinke is recovered from his rib injury and ready to make his first start as a National Leaguer. Odds are, he\u2019ll be a hit on the Senior Circuit. However, he should be on an innings limit to start and there\u2019s no telling how rusty he\u2019ll be. He\u2019ll have to hope the Brewer bats step up to help him. Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder are almost always up to that task. The big sluggers are both batting well over .300 and have combined for 16 homers and 49 RBI over the first 28 games of the season. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Atlanta Braves (15-15 through May 2)<\/strong>
\nTim Hudson (3-2, 3.48)<\/p>\n

Like the Brewers, the Braves are a hyped team taking longer than expected to find its groove. But that doesn\u2019t mean it won\u2019t happen. Atlanta\u2019s pitching staff has been stellar as ever, cracking the MLB top four in ERA, WHIP, strikeouts and quality starts. Tommy Hanson, Brandon Beachy, Tim Hudson, Derek Lowe and Jair Jurrjens have all been excellent for the most part.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just the bats that have to get going. Martin Prado is no guarantee to snap out of his slump, as last season\u2019s breakout came unexpectedly, but slumping sluggers Jason Heyward and Dan Uggla both have the pedigree to end their funks soon.<\/p>\n

MLB Trends:<\/strong>
\nMIL are 7-2 in their last 9 Wed. games.
\nOver is 8-1 in ATL last 9 overall.
\nOver is 8-1 in ATL last 9 on grass.
\nATL are 7-3 in their last 10 overall.<\/p>\n

The pick:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tim Hudson is a respectable 3-3 with a 3.57 ERA in eight career starts against the Brewers. Though Braun bats .385 off him over 13 career at-bats, the current Brewers haven\u2019t done a ton of damage against Hudson. Fielder bats .238 with a homer. Rickie Weeks is 1 for 18.<\/p>\n

The recipe points to a Braves win on Wednesday. Greinke is too unpredictable in his first start of the season following a nagging injury whereas Hudson has a proven track record against Milwaukee and is nice and stretched out at this point of the season.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll place plenty of bets in Greinke\u2019s favor later this season \u2013 but just not on his debut.<\/p>\n

Brewers vs Braves prediction: <\/strong>Braves 5, Brewers 3<\/p>\n
