Dodgers, Brewers continue playoff push

Aug 15, 2008 - 10:24 AM Milwaukee (70-52) at LA Dodgers (62-59) 10:40 p.m. EDT

LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- Teams gunning for the top spot in their respective divisions face off on Friday when the Milwaukee Brewers visit the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Brewers enter Friday's series opener in second place in the National League Central, 4 1/2 games behind the Chicago Cubs (74-47), who own the best record in the NL.

Meanwhile, the Dodgers are tied with the Arizona Diamondbacks (62-59) for first-place in the NL West after claiming a 3-1 victory on Thursday to complete a four-game series sweep of the Philadelphia Phillies.

Milwaukee had an eight-game win streak snapped on Thursday, suffering a 3-2 loss to reigning NL Cy Young Award winner Jake Peavy and the San Diego Padres.

Manny Parra (9-5, 4.02 ERA) looks to help the Brewers bounce back. Parra had lost each of his previous three-starts before Sunday, when he allowed only one run and six hits while striking out nine in seven innings. The 25-year-old lefthander did not factor in the decision, though, as Milwaukee claimed a 5-4 victory over the Washington Nationals in 13 innings.

Chad Billingsley (11-9, 3.07) goes for his third straight win after a pair of no-decisions for the Dodgers.
