Capuano pitched his best game ever, tossing a two-hitter and striking out a career-high 13 as the New York Mets blanked the Braves 6-0 Friday night
Tim Hudson (13-8) (has beaten the Mets) 14 times, his highest win total against any opponent ... the Mets tagged him for 11 hits - the most he had allowed since 2008 - in 6 1/3 innings.

The baseball gods hate me
Atlanta Braves @ New York Mets
The Mets' pitching blows.
The rotation has a 5.61 ERA in August, and the bullpen has allowed at least one run in 11 straight games, and at least one run in 27 of its last 32. New York's relievers have logged a 5.71 ERA in August.
Capuano is no exception, he has fallen off a cliff since the All-Star break and I can't see him having much joy tonight.
The veteran Hudson has put up nice numbers L3 and he's 7-0 with a 1.64 ERA over his last 10 starts. Blazing.
With Atlanta on the road, the run line becomes a stronger play, as they carry all the momentum into this game.
Pick: Braves -1.5 @ 2.2
