| Philadelphia, PA (MySportsbook) - After more than a quarter-century of trying, the Milwaukee Brewers finally got over the hump in 2008. Now the long- suffering franchise will be facing a new challenge for the upcoming season, one which could prove to be just as difficult.

| OUTLOOK Improved or not, it's a difficult road for the team formerly known as the Reds. Last year's division champion, the Chicago Cubs, are widely expected to contend for a World Series title, while the Central is also home to the 2008 NL wild card Milwaukee Brewers. Aside from that, it's the Cardinals, Astros and Pirates in a race for respectability. Truth told, long-suffering fans in Cincinnati will likely term the season a success if the Reds are able to lead the second-tier pack and take third overall in th |
