10 series and 31 games: That’s all the Reds have left to qualify for the playoffs and join a highly exclusive club of teams that have gone unswept in a single season.
If Reds qualify for the playoffs it would be the first time since 2020’s shortened MLB season that they would do so, and the first time since 2013 in a full-length season.
After Sunday’s round of games, the Reds are now 1.5 games back from a National League wild card spot behind the New York Mets.
And after repeatedly securing wins in 42 different series this season, the Reds also just have to earn at least one win in their 10 remaining series to earn the very rare accolade of going unswept in a single season.
Despite very frequently having their backs against the wall throughout many of those series, the Reds have always managed to prove that they can find a way to secure at least one win throughout each of those matchups. This includes a come-from-behind win on Sunday against the Arizona Diamondbacks during their final series matchup, and a similar come-from-behind win that was earned last week against the first place Milwaukee Brewers.
However, it is almost certainly not going to be without plenty of effort that the Reds achieve either of these feats: The Reds have the toughest remaining schedule of any team in MLB, including a rematch against the Brewers and an impending matchup that starts on Monday against the league’s defending World Series champions in the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Here’s a look ahead at all of the remaining games that the Reds face. Records are as they stood at the end of the day on Aug. 24, and all times are listed in Eastern Standard Time.
