The baseball season is very young. No team has completed two cycles through their starting pitching rotations. Cincinnati is atop the National League Central standings in a tie with Pittsburgh at 4-3. Surely one team will create separation; but for the moment, the six teams in the NL Central are packed in between records of 4-3 & 3-5. If the Reds hope to reach the post-season they need to have a good start. Typically, they start fast they taper off through the summer. They are on pace to win 92 games which might be good enough. The problem with the NL Central is that only one team goes to the playoffs – rarely is the NL wildcard from this division.
Most gurus expect St. Louis and Chicago to have good seasons. Both teams have started slowly. But the season is just a week old.
I love baseball.
