The Milwaukee Brewers and Cincinnati Reds play the first of a four-game series tonight in Cincinnati, kicking off each team’s Central Division schedule. Both teams expect to be contenders in what is projected to be a tightly-contested division, so even this early in the season each team will certainly be playing with a little more edge.
The Brewers are coming off a series victory in which they took two of three from the Seattle Mariners, and their record for the season sits at 6-2, second in the division only to the 8-2 Pirates. Cincinnati lost two of three to the Mets over the weekend, and their record sits at 5-4.
