They haven't had a winning record since May 1st. If you aren't a winner for 3.5 straight months, I just assume you are who you have shown you are.
The Reds were 9-18 in May, but they are just over .500 in the other months and they are 8-5 in August
2-1 March - 2-1
14-13 April - 16-14
9-18 May - 25-32
14-13 June - 39-45
13-11 July - 52-56
8-5 August - 60-61
They went 4-16 to start May before sweeping the Dodgers which started a 12-3 run that finished off their devastating May and gave them a good push into June.
They are 44-48 since April 29th when they were 16-13. That or their over all record of 60-61 might be who they are . . . However . . .
. . . They are 40-31 since their loss to San Diego on May 23rd. That might be who they are. If that's the case, then they have a damn fine chance of making the playoffs because they have good to great pitching and that always gives you a chance.. The Giants just beat the Braves today so now the Reds are only 4 back with at least 3, probably 4 more games vs the Braves
I give them a 6.
And I think that you pore over stats a bit too much if you're worried about strength of schedule with this team.
Up 2-0 on the Braves, won the season series with the Phillies, Dodgers and swept the Yankees while getting swept by Washington and Detroit. I'm more worried about them facing a 3-9 pitcher with a 5.65 ERA than I am about them facing any winning team not named the Brewers. Everything is a straight up coin flip with these guys. That's what makes it so intriguing to watch.
