5 Things to Watch
1.) Brewers on my Birthday - Because I have no life, I spent some time figuring out how the Brewers do on my birthday (Today), they are 8-14 and three of those wins came in my first three years of existence. They are typically pretty bad on my day of birth, let's hope today is different. Last year was a brutal bullpen loss against Colorado, a team whom the Brewers have played multiple times on my birthday.
2.) Reds are red hot - It is okay if I use one pun a post, right guys? The Reds have found themselves winning ball games again and they are starting to creep back into the race for the National League Central. Starting play today, the Reds are 3.5 games back of the leading Pittsburgh Pirates, but they are 5.5 games ahead in the second Wild Card spot. At least right now, it seems like a given the NL Central is getting three teams into the playoffs. Cincinnati is doing it more with pitching and still banging the baseball around now and again.
3.) Pitcher duel weekend? - The Brewers are probably up against it this weekend. Three of the four Reds starters have an ERA either under three or right at three and then the other one already has a no-hitter under his belt for 2013. Mat Latos is probably pitching the best for the Reds this season overall. I would definitely consider him the ace of this staff. Naturally, the Brewers usually struggle against him. The only one in the four they hit well is Homer Bailey.
4.) The return of Yovani - After nearly a month of the disabled list, Yovani Gallardo will be making a start in August. He had a horrible July and looks to try to build some momentum into the 2014 season. Yo pitched well against the Reds earlier this season and pitching at home always helps easing a pitcher back into the rotation. I doubt he will pitch his usual count; my assumption would be he will be on a strict limit and then the Brewers move to the bullpen.
5.) SnoTap Scooter watch - I finally said on Twitter, I believed Scooter Gennett is trolling me. The guy played his ass off in the two Texas games with a multi-homer game on Tuesday night, and then did all of the little things with the bat and glove on Wednesday night. He faces the home crowd again along with some stiff competition. Knowing how things are going for Scooter, he will hit a walk off grand slam this weekend.

Prediction
Eh. I would love to say the Brewers could find a split here with the way they are playing, but the Crew struggles against the Fightin' Jay Bruce's usually. I feel like they will get a game here, hopefully tonight on my birthday.
