The Cincinnati Reds are gearing up for their first playoff game in a dozen years. The last time the Reds reached the MLB Postseason — during a 162-game season — was all the way back in 2013 when they were ousted by the Pittsburgh Pirates after just a one-game Wild Card Series.
Thankfully, things have changed since then, and the new playoff format features a three-game series. It won't be a picnic for the Reds, however, as their first opponents are the defending World Series champions, the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The stage is set for the Reds to pull off a shocker with Hunter Greene on the bump for Game 1 of the Wild Card Series.
