Why This Playoff Showdown’s High Stakes Point to a Surprising Under Outcome
The Reds are sneakily making some noise in the National League. It was hard to believe that the American League Central was one of the deepest last season, but this year it might be even more shocking that the National League Central is the best. Cincinnati seemed like they would be a decent team, but they are already at 60 wins, and with 50 to go, they should find their way above .500 by the end of the year. I think the Reds are likely to push for a playoff spot, but ultimately will fall short. Just a guess, though. They’ve played well this series, however, with wins in the first two games of the contest. They’ve held this supposedly great Cubs offense to just three runs in the two games, too. Today they get a guy who is having a phenomenal season on the mound, Andrew Abbott. Abbott has a great 8-1 record with a 2.15 ERA, and a 1.11 WHIP. He has had a few tough games, but for the most part has only allowed a run or two in each contest. He has already faced the Cubs twice this season, allowing seven hits and only one earned run over 12.2 innings.Â
