Reds still 2.5 games out of WC and just 5 games left to play.
Cubs and D-Backs play their 6th game on Thursday when Reds are off.
Unfortunately, with being 2.5 games back, I don't think the Reds make the postseason unless they can win 4 or even 5 games.
We can't expect D-Backs, Cubs, and Marlins to all have losing records the rest of the way out, so playoff hopes are slim.
EDIT - here are the records we need each of the teams above us to have the rest of the way:
Cubs/D-Backs: 2-4 or worse
Marlins: 3-3 or worse
If Cubs and D-Backs go 4-2, Reds can't make the postseason.
If they go 3-3, Reds have to win out.
