The Cincinnati Reds enter play on Friday 0.5 games out of the final National League Wild Card spot, though there are current two clubs - the Chicago Cubs and Miami Marlins - who sit tied for said spot. Friday sees the Reds open their final home series of the 2023 regular season against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Friday, it would seem, is a great day to start a win streak that stretches to, say, October.
Andrew Abbott will toe the rubber for the Reds in a game where it would sure be nice to see the Andrew Abbott of old once again.
