Hudson has taken the loss in each of his first two outings, with his most recent start coming against the Blue Jays, where he gave up 5 earned runs over 6 innings. In his first start of the year, he gave up 3 runs to the Rays.</p><p>For the Rockies, we have Charlie Blackmon as our top projected hitter in terms of total hits. His total hits projection is 10th best in the league today. If you're looking for a Rockies player to hit a home run, we actually have Michael Toglia with the best odds on the team and 9th best in the league.
