Having recently acquired 2007 AL Cy Young award winner, C. C. Sabathia has given the BetUS Sportsbook.

The Reds are coming off an emphatic 12-7 spanking of the NL Central-leading Chicago Cubs on Thursday, pounding out 18 hits, including a whopping seven home runs.

"We were just trying to get base hits. Sometimes you get the ball in the air and it can go out," said Ken Griffey Jr., who hit a three-run homer. "The wind was blowing out."

Cincinnati will hand the ball to veteran right-hander Josh Fogg (1-2, 8.39) who is coming off his best start of the season as he limited the lowly Washington Nationals to one run on six hits in six innings on Saturday despite not picking up a decision.

"I wasn't comfortable earlier in the year," Fogg told the team's official Web site. "To go down (to the minor leagues) and get my command back and my feel for pitching back is something I really needed to do."

The Brewers will turn to gifted young hurler Manny Parra who is seeking his seventh consecutive win in this contest. The 25-year-old left-hander hasn't lost since May 3, winning six straight starts n the process.

"You're seeing a young major league pitcher evolve into a pretty good major league pitcher," Brewers manager Ned Yost told the Brewers' official Web site. Parra hasn't started since July 3 but did pitch one scoreless inning of relief on Monday in Milwaukee’s 4-3 loss to Colorado.
