Should get a chance to make up ground if we take care of business cause we know how hard it is to beat Atlanta.I kind of see your point, but Arizona is 2.5 games ahead of the Reds and just took two out of three from Atlanta in Atlanta.
Also, Lively 3.72 vs Henry 3.89, Williamson 5.21 vs TBD (2 starters on IL) and Weaver 7.22 vs TBD - Davies 1-5 7.38 would be due but not listed anywhere. Maybe they gave up on him. Another 1st place team stuck with a 7+ ERA 5th starter that recently fell into 2nd place. Which is kind of why I figured that the Reds would just ride it out with Weaver. There's going to be a lot of competition for a lot of mediocre starters and they have two pitchers coming back soon. Weaver is scheduled two more starts before the trade deadline This one and vs the Dodgers. Yikes!
Luckily, as they miss, yet another ace, Cincinnati will miss Gallen. I think they crushed him his first matchup against the Reds as a rookie and then he has pretty much dominated them ever since, so that's another fortunate roll of the dice.
