07/10/2008 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Milwaukee Brewers will try for a series split with the Colorado Rockies this afternoon, when the two ballclubs close out a four-game series at Miller Park.
Milwaukee has lost two of the first three meetings with Colorado, including Wednesday's 8-3 setback that pushed the Brewers five games behind the Chicago Cubs in the NL Central. Ace Ben Sheets allowed five hits and three runs through six innings and absorbed the loss despite posting a season-high 11 K's. Sheets took the hill one day after newly-acquired starter CC Sabathia won his National League debut for the Brewers.
Bill Hall homered, while Russell Branyan and Mike Cameron each recorded an RBI in Wednesday's defeat. Milwaukee is 4-2 so far on a 10-game homestand and 29-15 at Miller Park this season.
Even though Dave Bush didn't win his last start, he will try to duplicate his efforts again this afternoon versus Colorado. Bush hurled eight strong innings of one-run, four-hit ball the last time out on Saturday versus Pittsburgh for the no-decision. The Brewers won the game, 2-1.
Bush is 0-1 in two starts since a personal two-game winning streak. He is also 4-8 with a 4.74 earned run average in 17 starts (16 games) this season.
The righty squared off at Colorado's Coors Field on June 7 this season and suffered the loss. Bush was touched for five runs and five hits in four frames of a 7-2 loss. He is 1-1 with a 4.50 ERA in two career starts in this series.
With last night's 8-3 triumph in the third test of this series, Colorado improved to 7-2 over its last nine games. Starter Glendon Rusch allowed five hits and one run with four strikeouts over six innings to post a win as a starter for the first time since July 9, 2006 as a member of the Cubs.
Garrett Atkins clubbed a pair of homers and Joe Koshansky belted a two-run shot for the defending National League champions, who are 2-1 on a seven-game road trip and 14-32 as the guest this season.
The Rockies will send Jorge De La Rosa to the hill on Thursday, and he is 3-4 with a 6.58 ERA in 13 games (10 starts) this season. De La Rosa is 2-1 over his previous eight trips to the hill, having beaten Florida on July 5 with five innings of three-run ball during a 12-6 triumph.
The left-hander, who is 0-3 on the road this season, will face Milwaukee for the second time this season. On June 7 versus the Brewers, De La Rosa did not factor in the outcome of a 7-2 win after hurling a perfect inning of relief.
De La Rosa is 0-1 with a 10.50 ERA in two career games (one start) against Milwaukee.
Colorado won two of three games versus the Brewers at home from June 6-8, and has won eight of the last 12 meetings in the series.

Mayweather picked to beat De La Hoya
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya and his rival Floyd Mayweather Jr. arrived at the MGM Grand here Wednesday amid the pomp and pandemonium befitting two of the biggest stars in the sport who are about to duke it out for the WBC super welterweight crown this Saturday (Sunday in Manila).
As of Wednesday, MySportsbook.com closed its book with Mayweather a favorite to defeat De La Hoya at -170 (a $100 bet wins $70), while De La Hoya is a +140 underdog (a $100 bet wins $140).
Mayweather arrived at about 11:30 a.m. on a big truck with his face and a big "World's Best Pound-for-Pound" sign scribbled across the vehicle. He was accompanied by his entourage made up of rappers and his training team.
A crowd of close to 3,000 eager fans packed the MGM Grand lobby, with their cameras in tow, all trying to vie for position to get a good angle at Mayweather, who is acknowledged as the world's best fighter pound-for-pound.
Eric Gomez, Golden Boy Promotions vice-president, described the fan turnout as "amazing" and swore he had never seen anything quite like this event.
"The crowd was fantastic. Everybody was just too eager to see the two fighters," said ALA manager Michael Aldeguer, who was among those who waited at the lobby together with his ward Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista and AJ Banal.
De La Hoya made his own grand entrance at the hotel lobby at around 12:30 p.m. accompanied by GBP chief executive officer Richard Schaefer and trainer Freddie Roach.
The same group of fans who trooped to see Mayweather also lingered around to get a close look at De La Hoya, who has been secretly working out at a Las Vegas gym for days after arriving from his main training camp in Puerto Rico.
The golden boy then took part in a closed-door afternoon workout with Bautista and Banal. The two, along with Aldeguer and wife Christine, as well as an HBO crew were the only ones allowed inside the gym.
De La Hoya and Mayweather take part in today's final press conference before the official weigh-in this Friday.
Ring Magazine, the acknowledged bible of boxing, reported in its June 2007 issue that 12 out of 20 boxing experts it interviewed have favored Mayweather to defeat De la Hoya, with only 8 favoring the latter.
But Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao said in a recent interview with The Freeman's Emmanuel Villaruel that De La Hoya will win by unanimous decision over Mayweather.
