Phillies and Reds Clash in High-Stakes Showdown: Playoff Drama Ignites Tonight!

The Reds have been decent since the start of the second half of play. They made a few moves at the deadline to bolster their team. However, the biggest problem that I have is that the Reds, even if they make the playoffs, are probably not a team most fear. Overall, their pitching has been good, but not great this year. Since the All-Star Break, they are 12-10, but thanks to the collapse of the Mets, they are just 1.5 games back of the final Wild Card spot. They get arguably their best pitcher taking the hill today as Andrew Abbott is on the mound. Abbott has gone 8-3 for the season with a 2.34 ERA, and a 1.13 WHIP. He doesn’t technically qualify for the league rankings due to the number of innings he has thrown, but he is at 115.1 innings. He has been great at home this season. He did face the Phillies earlier this season and allowed four earned runs over 3.1 innings on nine hits. Overall, the Phillies are 14-for-46 against Abbott.
