Greene’s Surge: Can He Exploit the Cubs’ Hangover to Secure a Stunning Victory?

Greene’s Surge: Can He Exploit the Cubs' Hangover to Secure a Stunning Victory?

The Reds are still fighting for the playoffs. If the season ended today, they would not make the playoffs. They do enter today trailing the Mets by just two games, and the Diamondbacks are a half game ahead of the Reds. The Giants are also tied with the Reds at two games back, and the Cardinals are still a reasonable 4.5 games back. I personally think the Mets will lose the playoff spot, but again, I’m not going to back that. I mentioned recently that the Reds should look at this season as a stepping stone, even if they don’t make it to the postseason. I stand by that, and think if they can add some pieces they can ensure themselves a spot next year. Their pitching is one of the strengths of this team, and today Hunter Greene, one of the key cogs in their wheel, takes the hill. Greene put together a nice year at 6-4 with a 3.01 ERA, and a 0.99 WHIP. He has been phenomenal in home starts, posting a 1.69 ERA over nine outings. Cubs hitters don’t really do all that well against him, hitting just 18 for 89 against him. There is one exception – Seiya Suzuki – who is hitting 7-for-15 with five extra-base hits.
