09/07/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Milwaukee Brewers are coming off their best offensive performance of the season. They will try to keep swinging their big bats tonight in the first of three straight games against the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park.
In Wednesday's 14-2 win over the Houston Astros, the Brewers clubbed five home runs to support Yovani Gallardo's seven scoreless innings. Prince Fielder, Ryan Braun and Corey Hart each had three-run homers, while Geoff Jenkins and Bill Hall also went deep.
Gallardo (7-4), meanwhile, scattered six hits over his quality outing, striking out five and walking a pair.
Things got better the next day for Milwaukee, which has won five of its last six games, when Chicago lost to the Dodgers, dropping the Cubs into a tie with the Brewers for the top spot in the National League Central. Both clubs have identical records of 71-68.
The Brewers will send Dave Bush to the hill tonight hoping the right-hander can win his third straight decision. He bested the Pirates on Saturday, holding the club to one run and four hits over six innings. The victory improved Bush to 11-9 on the season with a 4.83 earned run average, though he is 8-3 over his last 15 outings.
Bush has had little success against the Reds in his career, going 1-1 in six starts against them with a 6.68 ERA.
Bronson Arroyo will start tonight for Cincinnati and is a disappointing 7-14 this year with a 4.43 ERA. He picked up a loss in his last start on Sunday, giving up three runs and eight hits over 6 1/3 innings in St. Louis.
The right-hander is 5-3 with a 3.58 ERA in 11 career outings against the Brewers, eight of those starts. He did pick up a win over the club on August 17, holding Milwaukee to three runs over 7 1/3 innings.
The Reds halted a five-game losing streak on Wednesday in a big way, blanking the Mets 7-0. Tom Shearn and three relievers combined for the three-hit shutout.
Shearn (2-0) went six innings, allowing three hits with three walks and three strikeouts. Marcus McBeth, Jared Burton and Mike Stanton each threw one hitless inning in relief.
Brandon Phillips belted his 28th homer of the year, breaking Joe Morgan's 1976 team record for home runs in a season by a second baseman. Joey Votto also homered for his first major league hit in his second career at-bat for Cincinnati.
The Reds are 6-3 against the Brewers this year and have won four of six over the club at home.

Trash talk has a place in every competitive endeavor (except baseball; those stirrup-wearers are too busy chewing on their sunflower seeds and their supplements to worry about what their opponents are doing).
Fantasy sports is no exception. Any intelligent discussion of the subject would probably start with a thesis statement or a definition of terms. Thankfully, this wont be an intelligent discussion.
Let me just say that I am happy to take a place in this space alongside my talented colleagues, even our commissioner. (You should see how she bleats like a demented paper boy about league fees on our fantasy site).
Trash talking, I would argue, is primarily about amusing your friends, their sheeplike demeanors and sloping foreheads notwithstanding. The best place I have found for football trash talking is at www.SportsAlarm.com.
Beyond the entertainment factor, though, I would recognize that the sophomoric ritual has one advantage, when properly applied. It magnifies your fantasy triumphs and mitigates your fantasy failures by transforming the eventual point total into an afterthought. Winning makes it seem like your opponent really is a truss-owning, lapel-pin-wearing nitwit. And in defeat, trash talk can be the air bag to break the fall from your hyperbolic heights. The plug-necked yahoos on your team, you can say, will be sacking groceries by the end of the season.
The best trash talk, in my view, is layered and nuanced. And it doesnt focus only on your opponents team. It picks apart your opponent. The idea is to create a shock-and-awe-scale blizzard of nonsense, and the goal is to make your opponent drop his hands from his keyboard in exasperation.
What team does your opponent root for? Accuse a Giants fan of having a Joe Namath pillowcase. Wheres your opponent from? Give a look of concern no matter his reply, then say, I'll try to type slower for you next time. Is your opponent into politics? Label everyone a tax-and-spend corporate shill.
Cap all that with a liberal application of irrelevance. For instance, dont just conclude by saying your opponent is a twerp who drafts like my grandmother. Say that your opponent is a sweater-wearing, eyebrow-plucking twerp who drafts his team about as well as Zsa Zsa Gabor gave acceptance speeches at the Oscars. By the time your foe makes sense of that, his starting running back will have had puppies.
But what about you? Hmm? Recall a memorable slam? Have a tried-and-true technique? Know someone who seems impervious to insult? Take a moment and tells us about it. Put together some (fit-for-publication) thoughts. You wont be too busy returning phone messages from your friends, Im sure, to reply.
In addition to the trash talking, the Sports Alarm has a huge gallery of high resolution pictures of beautiful women and models in bikinis. The most popular models are: Lindsay Lohan, Carrie Underwood, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Paris Hilton.
