The Cincinnati Reds were one of the teams expected to be of the worst of all MLB in this 2022 season, after they shed several stars and apparently gave up competing for years to come, seeing reflected in his horrible start to the campaign, ending April with one of the worst records ever seen in the history of the Major Leagues, this being 22 losses for only 3 wins. However, since May began things have changed.
Since the beginning of the month, Cincinnati has a record of 13 wins and 8 losses, and although it doesn’t seem like much, only the two best teams in MLB, the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers, have a better record in that span than the Reds, with marks of 18-8 and 19-7 in that period of time respectively.
However, despite the remarkable improvement and tremendous hot streak the Reds are going through, their lousy start continues to be a tremendous drag on them as they have failed to leave the bottom of their division, trailing 12.5 games out of first place. place of the National Central, the Milwaukee Brewers.
Even with the expanded playoffs, the Reds currently don’t have a great chance of reaching an October berth, with Baseball Reference having their odds at just 0.4% at the moment.
