Do you think that Randy Johnson is still a strong pitcher ?
Does he pitch better in NY than away ?
Tim Hudson for the Braves is about the only bright spot they have.
I havent seen Johnson dominated like he used to.
thanks

I found this -
Prior to the perfect game, Johnson (8-6, 5.21 ERA) had gone 3-5 with a 5.80 ERA in nine starts against Atlanta. His overall 5.03 ERA vs. the Braves is his highest against any opponent.
In his most recent start on June 19, the 42-year-old Johnson allowed three runs and five hits in seven innings of a 4-2 loss to Philadelphia. He then began serving a five-game suspension for throwing at Cleveland's Eduardo Perez the previous week.
New York next will face Tim Hudson (6-6, 4.05), who has posted a 7.83 ERA in losing his last four starts against teams from the American League East Division. In Wednesday's 6-3 loss to Toronto, Hudson allowed five runs, seven hits and five walks.
Hudson has not faced the Yankees since April 27, 2004, when he gave up four runs and five hits in seven innings of an eventual 10-8 setback for Oakland. In nine lifetime starts vs. New York, Hudson has gone 1-2 with a 3.38 ERA.
With a 4-19 record in June, the Braves are one loss away from reaching 20 defeats in a month for the first time since the franchise moved to Atlanta prior to the 1966 season.
