4-16 (about to be 4-17, down 1 to 6 to the Cubs) in the last 21 games has put the Reds in jeopardy of crossing the dreaded 100 loss mark.
We are currently 60-96, like 60-97 after today. They have 5 games left. They have to have a winning record (3-2) in those final 5 games in order to avoid 100 losses.
All 5 games are against the Cubs, so it's possible that we avoid 100 losses, but I would be surprised at this point.
The good news is in the next 3 games, we'll see Lodolo and Greene make their final starts of the season, and they usually give solid performances.
I would say it's good that our last game has Ashcraft, who has also been really good this year, but he had a terrible outing today, 2.2 innings, 6 hits, 6 ER, and he had a pretty bad outing last time as well, 4 IP, 8 H, 4 ER. He is coming off an injury, so he is probably just rusty (was out for about a month, last pitched 8/19 before his previous start), but I wouldn't expect him to shake off that rust by Wednesday next week.
We'll see how they do.
