Tim Hudson has been given the nod for a Game 1 start against Andy Pettitte.
They flip-flopped Hudson and Smoltz, but it doesn't make much of a difference in a 3 man rotation scenario, because if there's a Game 5, Smoltz would have to come back on 3 days rest anyway.
However, if they go with a 4 man rotation, Hudson would get 2 starts and Smoltz only 1 start. However, Smoltz would be available for a Game 5 as the closer probably...hmmm....
Pitching Probables:
Game 1-Pettitte vs. Hudson
Game 2-Clemens vs. Smoltz
Game 3-Oswalt vs. Sosa
