Do you get "extra points" for beating the good teams??? So if we are beating the teams we are supposed (the weaker teams) to beat that means the Cardinals are losing more of the games against teams they are "supposed" to beat...
I understand the argument that you are going to have to face the stronger teams in the post season, but really the Cardinals are the only team that the Reds have a reasonable shot at seeing in October that they have been overmatched by. The Braves, Dodgers, Giants, and Padres have played the Reds pretty even. Anything can happen in a seven game series. 1990 the Reds were given no shot either.
