Only two teams are essential locks for a playoff spot with the season approaching the halfway mark.
You could’ve grabbed the Reds to win the NL Central at 40-to-1 at the beginning of June, but that price is now long gone following a 12-game win streak to prop them atop the division. They opened the year at around 250-to-1 to win the World Series but are now 66-to-1. So, have we reached the peak of the market on the Reds? Or is there still room to go higher?
The great thing about the Reds is they’ve bought into their youth movement. They’ve called up their top prospects , and the kids are playing well. The return of Joey Votto cannot be overstated, either, given his maturity, plate discipline, and power. Unfortunately, I’m worried about the pitching. If they want to continue this hot streak, they need Hunter Greene and Nick Lodolo to get healthy, alongside better performances from Graham Ashcraft.The Reds are contenders, pending health. If they get good news on the injury front from top-line pitchers, they’ll be worth betting on until the postseason, even though FanGraphs projects them with less than a 20 percent chance to make the postseason.
