How can they be expected to go 8-2 against teams that are supposed to be licking their chops to play the Reds? Try to be consistent. You look like you're arguing for the sake of arguing.
It's actually three games and only four teams ahead of them unless you're considering teams listed alphabetically that are tied with the Reds.
Every week is their chance to make up ground. Four days ago, the Reds were five games behind the Padres while the Mets were three games back. Now the Reds are three games behind the Mets and the Padres because the Padres are in a four game losing streak and the Mets just won their third in a row.
On September 10th, 2021, the Reds beat the Cardinals to go 75-67. The loss knocked the Cardinals down to 71-69, three games behind the Reds. The Reds went 8-12 for the rest of the season while the Cardinals won their next 17 games and finished the season 19-3, a full seven games ahead of the Reds.
There is still a lot of time and the Reds have a damn good pitching staff.
Actually, we are 4 games behind in the loss column, they have to play the same amount of games, 162. And there are 4 teams in front of us and 2 tied with us. In order to get the last wild card, we need 1 less loss, which would mean we are 5 games behind, unless we end up in a 1 game playoff for the last playoff spot. Which depends on record against each team which is tied for last playoff spot.
