https://www.fanduel.com/theduel/post...l-01ecft9t8w6pIn a wide-open NL Central with another 20 games guaranteed against a weak AL Central, the Reds are in good position to win well over 31 games. Given that they were one of baseball's unluckiest teams last year—they went 24-33 in one-run games and had a run differential of only minus-10 despite going 75-87—the Reds are likely going to be more competitive than many casual fans would think.
In what's likely to be a chaotic season, a win total of 31.5 is slightly disrespectful for a talented Cincinnati team.
