Well, when comparing the Reds against the other division leaders and the wildcard leader, their record looks like this:

Padres- 1-2 (final series with the Padres is next week)
Braves- 2-3
Phillies- 2-5

They have yet to play any of the division leaders or wildcard leader in the AL.

But looking at the above stats against the NL favorites, the Reds are a combined 5-10 against them, which is the same as their record against the Cards. They haven't faired well at all against the top teams. Let's hope that changes if they make the playoffs.

I think that the starting pitching has gotten so much better as the year has gone on and they will continue to gain experience and confidence as the year goes on and winds down. I think that put in that playoff atmosphere they will strive and do well!! At least I hope and pray lol!
