I'm rooting for Cardinals, Rays, Padres from here on out. I'll explain later.
Huge Play-Off WIN by Reds tonight. Bauer was great, Votto and Reds scored runs and won. As great as Gray pitched and bullpen and hitters blew it Tuesday, Reds needed this Wednesday.
So instead of Reds having 29 losses and Brewers 27, they both have 28, Reds have 29 wins, Brewers 28. I'm sure Reds vs Brewers this season Reds won. Reds won most of these Reds vs Brewers series and that should also help.
Reds off Thursday but others play. Come Friday you will see why I'm looking at loss column. Thursday is like NFL bye week.
I want the Rays to beat the Phillies as Reds play Twins.
I want the Padres to beat the Giants as Reds play Twins.
I want the Cardinals to beat the Brewers as Reds play Twins.
I want Reds to clinch a play-off spot on SATURDAY. This way they do not pitch a top pitcher Sunday. They can save Bauer for GAME ONE of PLAY-OFFS. They do not have to pitch a #4 pitcher to start play-offs. They do NOT use all their top guns against Twins.
This is why I root for Cardinals, Rays, Padres this weekend. I WANT REDS TO CLINCH A SPOT SATURDAY, so Reds don't use good pitchers Sunday. Reds save best pitching for GAME ONE of Play-Offs. NOT A ONE AND DONE IN PLAY-OFFS as Bengal Fans call it.
The order of finish does not matter. Reds have played their last game in Cincinnati this year. So the best thing is Cardinals to take 3 out of 4 or sweep Brewers to knock Brewers off Reds. Plus Twins are tough. Reds may need Cardinals to beat the heck out of Brewers.
If Cardinals CLOBBER Brewers, it takes the pressure off Reds vs Twins.
Forget catching Cardinals, that is nothing. Better would be for Brewers to lose so bad that Reds clinch Saturday so they can start lining up their play-off pitchers. Whoever Reds play, Dodgers, Cubs, Braves, The Reds will have a chance if they can line up Bauer, Castillo and Gray in Play-Offs.
REDS WIN TONIGHT HUGE. Otherwise Reds would be 2 more losses than Brewers with 3 Reds games left to play. TONIGTS WIN moves Reds ahead of Brewers, but not by much. We could use Brewers to lose a few more games. Brewers losing to Cardinals Thursday on Reds day off would be great in setting up possible Reds clinch of play-off spot SATURDAY and then save Bauer for PLAY--OFFS which start fast after Sunday.
Remember 1990 when Eric Davis in World Series played like in his best years. Votto is starting to play like his best years at just the right time also. The MVP Votto changes play-off chances in Reds favor. Lets clinch Saturday and save Bauer for Play-Off Game One.
