Despite losing their Sunday matchup against the Milwaukee Brewers, the Cincinnati Reds maintained the final spot in the NL Wild Card over the New York Mets, meaning they will face the Los Angeles Dodgers in the Wild Card round of the postseason.
The Reds finished the season with a 83-79 record, finishing third in the NL West. The Reds caught fire towards the end of the season, making up five games on the Mets in the second half of the season to steal the Wild Card spot on the final day.
Their pitching staff has been the most impressive part of their team this season, and they were a large part of their success towards the end of the year.
