Right now the Reds are ahead of the Cardinals and would be in the playoffs.
If they fall behind the Cards in the Central they could still make the playoffs as a wild card if they are better than all but one of the teams that do not finish 1st or 2nd in their division. Right now that looks like the Giants, Phillie, and Brewers. The Reds are ahead of the Brewers and Phillies so they would still make the playoffs as a third place team.
In the ESPN standings they also list a teams probability of making the playoffs. this is based on the difficulty of their remining schedule. The Phils and Giants must have easier schedules because ESPN gives both of them a better chance of making the playoffs but not by much.
Reds......54.7%
Cards.....57.5%
Phillies....63.3%
