The Cincinnati Reds (72-63) are down to 27 games remaining in the baseball season as they cling to 0.5 game lead for the final playoff spot in the National League. The Reds will begin a three game series with the Detroit Tigers (63-72) at GABP tonight at 7:10 PM.
The Tigers might have the exact opposite record as the Reds and be 9-games below .500, but make no mistake about it – this will be one of the most difficult series remaining on the calendar for the Reds. The Tigers are 23-21 in the second half despite some recent struggles.
