Baseball, luck, and run differential

I think since the 1-8 start, the Reds have been playing above .500 but should have won about 5-6 games more. I believe they are 2nd in league in Pitching and homeruns allowed. Homeruns allowed is significant given their home field. It is remarkable really. Votto is in a funk but they are starting to hit. I hope Gennett sparks everything.

They are playing better than I expected and Castillo and Mahle have done well. All this without Alex Wood. Iggy has to find his groove. Don't know what's wrong with the closer.
