Marlins have Mets x3 and Pirates x3.
Diamondbacks have Yankees x1, White Sox x3, Astros x3.
So according to my rough napkin math (could be wrong) the Reds need to go 5-0 if the Marlins go 4-2, the Cubs go 3-3, and Diamondbacks go 2-5 as they have the tiebreaker over each of them in head-to-head record (I believe only the Giants had the tiebreaker against the Reds). If any 2 of those 3 teams do better than those records, the Reds can't make up the difference despite going 5-0.
If the Reds go 5-0 and Arizona are 3-4, they'll both end up 85-77, putting the Reds above them. Monday and Thursday are the Reds days off and tomorrow I'm a Yankees fan as the Cubs and Marlins are also off. Thursday, I'm pulling for the White Sox, Mets and Braves. It will be pretty exciting if things fall their way.
If the Cubs can beat the Braves and Brewers enough to get through, good on them, they earned it. If the Reds don't go 5-0 or at least 4-1, they don't deserve to go.
