08/10/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Playing without Ryan Braun and Corey Hart, the Milwaukee Brewers were unable to extend their winning streak over the Diamondbacks. As Arizona starter Barry Enright builds on his case to be part of his club's 2011 rotation, he wouldn't mind seeing the All-Stars rest another day.
Enright aims for a third straight winning decision this evening in the continuation of a four-game series with Milwaukee at Miller Park.
A 2007 second-round pick out of Pepperdine, Enright joined Arizona's rotation on June 30 and is 3-2 with a 2.81 earned run average. The 24-year-old is 2-0 with a 2.42 ERA over his last four starts, though, and is coming off Thursday's victory over Washington in which he allowed two solo homers over six innings of an 8-4 triumph.
The right-handed Enright is 1-0 with a 2.45 ERA in two road starts this year, and the rookie faces Milwaukee for the first time in his career tonight.
He'll try to pitch Arizona to a second win in a row over Milwaukee after the Brewers saw the Diamondbacks rally for a 7-4 extra-inning victory in last night's opener to halt the team's seven-game winning streak over the D-Backs. Arizona, which was outscored 26-6 in getting swept in three games at home by the Brewers in May, picked up its first victory over Milwaukee since May 2 of last season.
Gerardo Parra scored Mark Reynolds with a ground out in the ninth inning off Milwaukee closer John Axford, then plated three runs off former closer Trevor Hoffman in the 10th frame. Stephen Drew, who has reached base safely in 16 consecutive games, plated two runs with a single before pinch-hitter Ryan Church added a run-scoring single to right.
"We hung in there after things weren't going our way early," Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said. "We just hope we didn't self-destruct then and we were clutch at the end. We got the job done when we needed to. Our bullpen was great."
Chris Young added a home run to give him his second career 20-homer, 20-stolen base season for Arizona, which has won four of five overall.
Prince Fielder drove in a run in the first inning for his sixth RBI in his last four games for the Brewers, who had a three-game winning streak halted.
"We had some opportunities early in the game," Brewers manager Ken Macha said. "We left six men on base in the first three innings,"
Fielder was also one of three Milwaukee players hit by Arizona starter Ian Kennedy. Both benches were warned after Milwaukee starter Chris Narveson threw behind Rusty Ryal in the fourth inning.
With Braun (wrist) and Hart (back) both ailing and the Brewers having traded Jim Edmonds to Cincinnati earlier in the day, Macha had just one healthy player on his bench in backup catcher George Kottaras. Shortstop Alcides Escobar started in right field and Hart was able to pinch hit late in the game. He is questionable for tonight, as is Braun.
Manny Parra would love to have the duo in the lineup tonight, seeing as he is 0-4 over his last five outings with an 8.56 ERA. The Milwaukee starter has allowed at least four runs in four of those games, including Wednesday's outing versus the Cubs in which he was charged with six runs on six hits and three walks over 5 2/3 innings of a loss. He also struck out eight.
The 27-year-old southpaw, who hasn't won since July 3, is 3-9 with a 5.67 ERA this year, but 1-0 with a 0.86 ERA in four career meetings with the Diamondbacks. The first three were starts until he threw two scoreless innings of relief on May 8.

Two playoff teams from 2007 take center stage on the NFL Network Sunday night in a Week 2 NFL betting match-up when the (0-1) New England Patriots betting head south to Florida for a contest with the (1-0) Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
New England HC Bill Belichick couldn’t care less about the way his team plays in the preseason. With a chance to tie last week’s game with the Baltimore Ravens betting, He elected to go for the two-point conversion and outright victory. The conversion failed, and the Pats ended up falling to the Ravens by a 16-15 final count.
New England rolled off twelve unanswered points to give it a chance at securing the victory, but it never threatened to cover the 3.5-point spread. NFL bettors saw this one coming, as they bet the Ravens down from +6 to +3.5 as the week progressed. QB Tom Brady didn’t take part in the Patriots first preseason clash, but could see action this weekend.
His three replacements all put up embarrassing numbers. They went a combined 17 for 33, and threw three interceptions and no touchdowns. The New England defense was encouraging, as they held the Ravens to 2/12 third down conversions and surrendered just ten first downs. That ‘D’ should be bolstered with the addition of former Bucs and Denver Broncos betting safety John Lynch, who could make his Patriots debut on Sunday against his former mates.
HC Jon Gruden had to be impressed with the way his Bucs played on both sides of the ball in their dominating 17-6 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 1’s NFL pre-season betting action. Bucs bettors were quite happy with the effort, as they made a mockery of the fact that they were underdogs in the game.
The logjam at the quarterback position didn’t get any easier to separate for Gruden, as all four of his QBs had positive experiences in the first exhibition of 2008. The four combined to complete 28 of their 40 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown, and that was without starting QB Jeff Garcia in the lineup.
RB Michael Bennett had 19 carries and four receptions, totaling 90 yards and a touchdown. Expect to see more of Bennett, Kenneth Darby, and Earnest Graham, as they all compete for playing time with Warrick Dunn in the backfield this season. Defensively, the Bucs recorded four sacks and held the Fins offense in check all day.
First round draft pick Aqib Talib was impressive in the secondary, recording a tackle and two pass defenses in his debut. Don’t be surprised to see Talib in the starting lineup opposite Ronde Barber for the Bucs in ’08.
The betting trends suggest that NFL bettors should be backing the Bucs in this intra-conference exhibition.
These two teams hooked up last year in Tampa Bay, with the Bucs winning that game 13-10. The Buccaneers have only lost one preseason game at home dating back to the beginning of the ’05 preseason. The Patriots have had a mixed bag of results in their recent exhibitions. They have gone 2-2 ATS and SU each of the last three years.
New England currently sits as modest 1-point favorites in this preseason showdown with the ‘total’ now sitting at 34.5.
