Dusty Baker would be furious if he was still his manager.

They're better than some teams, but not any where near the BoSox and Stros. There are no NL that even give a scare, so flip a coin for your world series champ. imo.

On the flip side it’s baseball so even the reds are like 30% to win any series.

Ok, maybe a bad example.

A 4-game win streak would be sweet. The Cubs have yet to win or lose more than 2 in a row all year. They've hit every .500 record from 0-0 to 9-9. The MLB record to start a season like that is 10-10, which they can match with an L in Cleveland tonight!

Book it. I get the Reds never winning 4+ in a row in 2018 and you get them somehow luckboxing 4 wins in a row. quote to blah blah confirm. edit:$50. I'll pay within the week it happens if they somehow pull it off.

I wonder what the math actually is for a team that say, wins 35% of their games over the course of a season to win 4 in a row. I imagine only that it's a pretty hairy calculation.

Just looking at the worst teams over the last two seasons if they had 4+ game winning streak

2017 Tigers - Yes
2017 Phillies - Yes
2017 Reds - Yes
2017 Giants - Yes
2016 Twins - Yes (Only 59 wins)
2016 Padres - No (but won 6 of 7 at one point)
2016 Reds - Yes
2016 Braves - Yes
2016 Rays - Yes

I like my side.

Ooooh that's a good one. I think you'd have to give odds against the over though.
