After gathering some momentum with a 5-1 week, the Reds look to dust-ups with the Padres and the NL Central-leading Pirates. With another good week, the Reds can climb into series contention in the division and hopefully sit atop the standing by the time real baseball comes back.
If you missed the explainer of this little project, you can find it here and last week’s results here. To give the Sparknotes: I will be randomizing every Reds game by picking a historical box score and subbing in the current Reds. As you might guess, these randomizations are not meant to be realistic, unlike Tom Mitsoff’s Strat-o-Matic simulation exercise.
