The Cincinnati Reds are in the thick of the playoff race in the National League. Cincinnati trails NL Central Division-leader Milwaukee by just four games, and play three games against the Brewers coming out of the All-Star break. The Reds are also 3.5 games back of the Wild Card. In order to get into the postseason, these three players must improve in the second half.
All-Stars Jesse Winker and Nick Castellanos have carried this Reds’ ball club all season.
