Stumbling Into the Break

The Reds should be sure to enjoy the All-Star break. After losing 4 of their last 5 they now find themselves 5th in the NL Central with no sign of relief on the horizon. Today they start a 3 game series at the Mets before getting a little break for the All-Star game. Thursday, they jump right back into the thick of things with Brewers coming to town then off to the west coast to play the Dodgers who have MLB's best record and follow that up with 3 games in Chicago against the now 3rd place Cubs. Where has the pitching gone?

The Red Sox are playing .500 ball lately while the Yankees are 8-2 over their last 10 to catch up and tie the Sox atop the AL East. The Sox managed to lose to the lowly Royals last night and continue their 4 game series with them until the All-Star break. Thursday they travel to Toronto for 3 games and then to Texas, to face the AL West leading Rangers. Time to get it rolling again.

Reds (41-43) 4.5 gb in NL Central
Red Sox (51-34) tie for 1st in AL East
