Reds are above .500 and are only 2 games out of 1st Place still in August, with Reds injured players coming back, such as Hunter Greene probably pitching for Reds this weekend.
1st Place Brewers have to play Dodgers today and at Texas Rangers this weekend who are good. So Brewers could take some losses from time I post this on Thursday to start of Monday.
So The Reds are in a position to make a late August and month of September Play-Off run. 1st Place in NL Central could be won by Reds, and Reds very much in Wild Card race also
Brewers 2 game lead could take a hit by Dodgers and Rangers and Reds starting pitching gets a lot better with Hunter Greene maybe pitching Sunday.
Only 2 games out with a month and a half of baseball still to be played. Don't walk out on Reds yet, that is like walking out of a football game before the 4th quarter starts. A lot can happen in the 4th quarter and often the best part of the game. Reds are getting key injured players back, and this could get good. It would be like walking out on The Kentucky Derby and the horses haven't even made their turn to go down the long stretch to the finish line. They don't hand out prize money to the horse in the lead before they come down the final stretch. Brewers could lose their 2 game lead, it is only 2 games. I've seen teams lose bigger leads than 2 games in baseball. I think in 1964 there was a team up by 10 games in August that fell backwards and other teams passed. The Brewers haven't won anything yet. Dodgers and Rangers could clobber Brewers next 4 days.
