    The Reds have got the NL Central wrapped up.

    They look like a winning team and fireball closer Chapman continues to dominate.

    Its over. Reds win the division.

    The only thing that concerns me is the starting rotation. however, they have a very good bullpen to back them, as well as a solid hitting line up.

    not buying it just yet. pirates have a better rotation and when cards get carpenter back they'll have the second best rotation in the NL behind the nats.

    also chapman will almost certainly burn out at this pace, just look at guys like kimbrel, venters, ogando last year.

    It's early to call it a wrap. If dusty baker wasn't managing then i would be on board. Never know what you can lose with the dusty baker factor. Take Sunday Night game for example. He panicked by being in the spotlight and with the pirates winning earlier.

    i totally forgot about this in my post, the reds have the weakest manager out of the 3 nl central contenders

    Reds continued success without Votto is impressive. Gotta give credit.

    The Reds (89-59) have a magic number of four to clinch the division championship over St. Louis. The Cardinals beat Houston 4-1 on Tuesday night.
