Well, the Pirates were up 3-0 after seven innings but it's now 4-3, Marlins.

The Pirates are 33-0 when leading by 3 or more after seven innings, but...

So I'm a serious baseball novice that just got back into it after the Reds finally had a team worth watching and am a little confused here looking at the wildcard race in terms of standings and remaining games. We just have one more tomorrow against STL, Cubs have one more against the Brewers (Reds and Cubs tied), with Miami 1.5 games up right? What does it take to get in the final NL wildcard spot?

Reds, Dbacks, and Cubs both have two left, FL has two left plus Thursday night’s game to finish if necessary. Reds hold the tiebreaker over AZ and CHI, but not FL. So Reds need to win out and have AZ lose both or reds win out and FL lose all 3. What the Cubs do doesn’t matter to the Reds now.

Look at the loss column. It makes it much easier to keep track of.

Cubs and Reds are 2 back of Miami and Arizona in the loss column with two to play.

The Fish seem intent on winning and the Cubs seem intent on losing so I think our real chance lies in catching Arizona. They are playing a Houston team that needs to sweep to lock up it's own spot. Reds have the tie breaker over them.

A 4 way tie, with everyone at 78 losses puts Miami in as the #2 WC and the Reds in as the #3 WC.

If the Reds don't sweep St Louis then nothing else matters, it's over.

Thank you, what I was confused on is looking at the schedule I only see one game left today against STL...do we have another one I'm not seeing?
