CINCINNATI REDS -120 - I cashed a ticket with the Reds last night, and in the immortal words of Dizzy Dean, ?if it ain?t broke, don?t fix it!? The Reds have now won 7 straight games here at home, and 9 of their last 10 home contests. On the flip side, Milwaukee is 7-12 on the road this year and just 95-167, 36.3% away from home the last 3+ seasons. Granted, Sheets is generally regarded as the Brewers? ace, but that is not saying much considering his 6.10 ERA in his last 3 starts. Moreover, he allowed at least 10 hits in 2 of those 3 outings. His task will be made even more difficult by what figures to be a lack of run support, as Milwaukee is hitting a modest .241 on the road. Riedling won?t invoke memories of Cy Young, but he has been very serviceable to this point, and his only start was a good one as he limited the Cardinals to 1 earned run and 5 hits in 4.1 innings.

I had the -1' yesterday, and we all know what that got me.......
Sheets is the "ace" of a lackluster team, but he can pitch deep enough tonight, I think. I don't think -120 is a bad price to lay, but I don't see a cake walk tonight. I give this game about a 50/50 shot either way. So, IMO, there is no value here.
The Brewers are a pain in my betting ass, so good luck to you tonight.
