July 10, 20179 yr Reds will be back at it Friday at home Vs Washington. Good sign Homer goes into Coors and Chase Field vs two good teams and throws very well. I'd expect another No-Hitter at some point this second half. Castillo is gonna be a good one.
July 10, 20179 yr Reds finish the 1st half at 39-49 (.443 win %). They're 9.5 games out of 1st in the NL Central. Home record: 23-20 Road record: 16-29 6-4 in their last 10 games The only teams with worse record (or close) than the Reds in 1st half: Phillies (29-58) Padres (38-50) Giants (34-56) American League Teams: Tigers (39-48) White Sox (38-49) Athletics (39-50)
July 10, 20179 yr How about Joey Votto? He's on pace for better numbers than his MVP season. He's unreal. Scary thing is he's always been better second half. If he has the exact same numbers as last year's second half he'll end the season with a .358 avg, 118 R, 38 2B, 41 HR, 123 RBI, 109 BB, and only 74 Ks.
July 10, 20179 yr Author Progress. With a starting rotation that was in shambles basically all year. I think Price has done a pretty good job with this team.

Vegas has him at +5000 2
July 10, 20179 yr Votto's numbers in July: .355 average, .450 OBP, .710 SLG, 1.160 OPS In only nine (9) games: 11/31, 3 HR, 11 RBI, 7 BB For the entire 1st half: .315 average, .427 OBP, 99 hits, 26 HR, 68 RBI, 62 BB:42 K, 65 runs.
July 10, 20179 yr Dont loose 13 in a row on that road trip (or whatever it was) and they are a 500 team.
July 10, 20179 yr Dont loose 13 in a row on that road trip (or whatever it was) and they are a 500 team. They lost 9 straight at Los Angeles Dodgers (3x) then at San Diego (3x) then returned home to play Dodgers again (3x) before going to Tampa Bay (lost 2 out of 3), lost 2 out of three to Nationals and the makeup game at STL. June 9th thru June 26th -- 16 games, 2-14 record.

July 10, 20179 yr The .443 winning percentage translates to 72 wins over the course of a full season. I said 73 wins in the preseason prediction thread, we will see.
