Having made the 100 mile trip north up the west shore of Lake Michigan from Chicago to Milwaukee, the Reds take on the Brewers in the first game of a three game set tonight. The Brewers (85-65) hold the #1 position in the NL wildcard chase 3 games clear of the Dodgers and Cardinals who are tied for the final wildcard spot. However the Brew Crew still harbor hopes of a larger prize, the NL Central crown, as they currently trail the Cubs by 2.5 games in that race with a dozen games remaining. The Reds, in spite of their own 64-86 record, thus begin yet another series brimming with playoff implications.
