Perhaps they can stay in it ?
Based on the schedule we SHOULD stay in it.
We only have 8 games left against teams with winning records (Cards-3, Dodgers-3, White Sox-2)
Our other 19 games are against losing teams. 16 of the 19 are against 3 of the worst teams in the NL. The Cubs (3 games), Pirates (9), and the Nats (4) are all at least 15 games under .500.
ESPN currently gives the Reds a 54.5% chance of making the playoffs. I have not looked at the individual schedules of the teams we are competing against, but here are their odds.
Phillies.........34.5%
Padres........ 25.6%
Mets............ 6.7%
Cards.......... 5.7%
The Cards are only one game behind us in the loss column so they must have a pretty tough schedule remaining.
