Fielder, Brewers play nice in win over Reds
Baseball Betting Lines
08/05/2008 -
Cincinnati, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Corey Hart finished 2-for-3 with three runs
batted in, and Dave Bush threw seven solid innings, as Milwaukee crushed
Cincinnati, 8-1, in the second of three games with the Reds.
Bush (6-9) surrendered just one run on three hits and two walks, and struck
out seven for the Brewers, who snapped a two-game slide. Bush rebounded from a
rough start on July 31, in which he gave up seven runs -- six earned -- in 7
1/3 frames against the Cubs.
Prince Fielder hit a two-run home run, while Jason Kendall went 2-for-4 with
two RBI for Milwaukee. Ryan Braun had three hits, including a double.
Edinson Volquez (13-5) was touched for five runs on nine hits in just five
innings of work to absorb the loss for the Reds, who have lost four of five
overall.
Edwin Encarnacion snapped an 0-for-16 streak and finished with one hit and
Cincinnati's sole RBI.
The Brewers wasted little time in taking a lead. After Braun doubled with two
outs in the first inning, and Fielder was intentionally walked, Hart tripled
to center field to clear the bases and give Milwaukee a 2-0 edge.
Cincinnati got one run back in the home half. The club loaded the bases with
two down for Encarnacion, who reached on an infield single as Jeff Keppinger
crossed home.
But the Brewers started to pull away in the middle innings. In the fourth
frame, Hart led off with a double and scored on Mike Cameron's base hit. After
Cameron stole second base, Kendall doubled to the gap in left-center field to
plate the run and boost the visitors' lead to 4-1.
Hart's sacrifice fly in the fifth made it a four-run game.
Nick Masset relieved Volquez in the sixth inning and kept the Brewers off the
scoreboard in that frame. But in the seventh, with Braun on base and two outs,
Fielder crushed a two-run shot to center field for a 7-1 lead.
Kendall's single off Bill Bray in the eighth inning plated Cameron, who had
doubled with one out, to provide the final score.

Big 12 Conference betting odds
Work left to do: Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Kansas State
 Texas joins Texas A&M and Kansas as locks after getting league win No. 11. Texas Tech greatly helped its own hopes and crippled OK State's with the two-point win Saturday. Is K-State the last reasonable hopeful? Could be an elimination match in Stillwater on Tuesday, at least for the Cowboys.
Work left to do:
Texas Tech [18-11 (7-7), RPI: 44, SOS: 12] A critical two-point win over OK State leaves the Red Raiders with Baylor and at Iowa State left. Get both and the Red Raiders likely are good to go. Get one and there could be some interesting comparisons with a K-State team that could finish two or three games "ahead" of them in the standings but doesn't have any of the quality wins Texas Tech has. Not a lot in nonconference play (against Arkansas in Little Rock being the best win, by far) to lean on.
Oklahoma State [18-9 (5-8), RPI: 50, SOS: 35] Still without a road win, the Cowboys now need to win two on the road just to get to .500 in conference play. It's hard to recall a team (OK, other than Clemson) falling so precipitously from lock status to almost certainly out of the NCAAs at this point. There are wins to be had in the last three, including a very big home game against K-State on Tuesday, but this team is reeling. Can you tell the pressure to win is getting to them with the way the final possession played out at Texas Tech? There are some good nonconference performances to lean on, specifically beating Missouri State and Syracuse on neutral floors and Pitt in OK City, but if the Pokes don't right this very, very soon, that won't be enough.
Kansas State [20-9 (9-5), RPI: 56, SOS: 96] It pays to be in the Big 12 North. The nine league wins are Colorado (twice), Missouri (twice), Iowa State (twice), Baylor, Nebraska and (a good one against) Texas. That helps explain the middling computer profile. The win over USC is nice, but the nonconference leaves a lot to be desired. The game at OK State in Stillwater on Tuesday is huge, as it could KO the Cowboys and leave K-State with a home date against Oklahoma with which to work.
