Much appreciation to Lorenzen last night...which has not been uttered much by me this season!
5, 4 and 1 with 6 Ks and 0 BB? Team needed that. And I'd say he needed it too.

All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!

#Reds playoff odds after winning 4 straight games:
Fangraphs - 44.8%
Baseball Reference - 42.1%
Baseball Prospectus - 52.8%
FiveThirtyEight - 49%
If the Reds and Cardinals tie for the final playoff spot at .500 (Reds would have to go 6-4, Cardinals 8-7), St. Louis holds the tiebreaker. There are other teams involved, and so the prior scenario is unlikely. However, this is Cincinnati sports.
It seems that the door is open for Cards to play one or two more games (59 and 60) if necessary on Monday 9/28. Apparently two games against Detroit were not rescheduled. I have not read anything definitive on it, just that a date is open if needed.

Lorenzen passed DeSclafani on the depth chart in my mind. I want Disco to be skipped this next start and for Lorenzen to start on normal rest. I hope that Sonny can come back when first eligible so we do not have to see another Disco start this year.
7 HR allowed in Disco's last five starts with a 15:14 K:BB ratio means a 11.57 ERA, 9.20 FIP and 6.93 xFIP. Lorenzen has proven that he can get the job done and DeSclafani needs to take a seat. Let's not forget that three of those five starts were against the worst offense in MLB.

If the Cards play 2 less games, unless they both finish .500 there could be no tie, as their winning % would be different. Now if they both finished one or more games below .500, the Reds would have the better winning %, if they both finished one or more games above .500, the Cards would have the better winning %.
But I believe the Cards would have to make up any games that has a barring on playoffs.
