84-78. I picked 83-85 wins, so I am going to go in the middle and say 84 wins this season.

85-77. The rotation suffers more injuries than 2019 and the bullpen needs help come July. The offense is a litter better than league average (after adjusting for park) with a lot of depth, but lacks an impact player, particularly up-the-middle...
92 wins, Bauer has a big comeback year.
85 wins...going to improve over last year. I think they will contend for a Wild Card this year. Hoping for a Division crown tho!

Thus far, no one has picked us to be worse than .500.
I picked 86-88 because it's reasonable and I'm tired of being pessimistic.

90
I'll wait until we get closer to Opening Day
I'm guessing a 78-84 record, but I'm always pessimistic in my record picks for all my teams
I am guessing 83-85 because I think Votto is an anchor weighing them down at this point. If he plays less and they move one of the OF's to first, I can see it bumping up one or two levels.
It really all comes down to injuries as the team does have more depth than in years past but it is not limitless. If the Reds stay away from key components missing significant time, it will be a good year for Reds fans. If not, it could be right around 500 or maybe slightly less.

We have picks with 154, 158 and 168 games.

Yeah, I'm not even close to picking a number of wins right now. I'll wait until the poll is nearly closed.

87-75
Not quite enough for the division but gets a WC berth.
Currently FanGraphs has us pegged for 82 wins and a 34% chance to make the playoffs...
Despite that, I'm going 86 wins and the 2nd wildcard.

89 wins, which is enough to win a really close NL Central.
