Amid a heated National League wild card race, the Cincinnati Reds have lost four straight series and five of their last six. That is not what you want to see this time of year. Scoreboard watching comes into play now for the Padres and Astros game.
The Reds are now just 4-8 over their last four series. Luckily, the San Diego Padres are 4-7 during the same span pending the outcome to Sunday evening’s game. We will continue to preach perspective because all that matters are those wild card standings.
Cincinnati will begin a nine-game road trip on Monday with the opening of a three-game series at Wrigley Field against the Chicago Cubs.
