Their schedule is brutal
The A's are at .500 after a loss yesterday
15 MLB teams above .500
14 MLB teams below .500
So far the Reds have played
14 series against teams at or above .500 -
9 series against teams below .500 - the 3 series against Pittsburgh, Pitt was over .500 and so were the Padres
In 38 games against teams with a winning record, the Reds are 15-23.
The Yankees have only played 22 games against winning teams(11-11)
The Twins have only played 25 games against winning teams(13-12)
The Astros are an astounding 29-18 in 47 games against winning teams
The Cubs are 23-24 in 47 games against winning teams
The Pirates are 14-32 in 46 games against winning teams - every NL Central team has a losing record against teams over .500
From June 4th until July 28th, the Reds play 14 series against teams with a winning record. In the middle of that, they fly from Milwaukee to LA to play two games against the Angels(35-37). It will be their 3rd West Coast trip before the halfway point and another coming in mid-September. The Angels get Justin Upton back today, they could be above .500 next week when Cincinnati comes to town, which means it might be 15 straight series against teams with a winning record before playing Pittsburgh July 29th.
For the season
33 series against teams at or above .500
19 series against teams below .500
Angels 2 under .500
Padres 2 under
Mets 3 under
Nationals 5 under
Pirates 7 under but have a .451 winning percentage, Reds are at .449
47 series against teams with a better record than they have
5 series against teams with a worse record
To be honest, it's "kinda, sorta, maybe a little impressive" that they are this close with a brutal schedule, little to no hitting and dealing with the growing pains of a rookie manager still learning his roster.
