The Cincinnati Reds started the season on the wrong foot—poor starting pitching, over-usage of the bullpen, shady defense at times, ice cold bats and some questionable managerial decisions.

I believed all along the Reds would begin to make a charge towards the top of the standings.

These predictions are about how they are going to get there.
