Right in not all circumstances but i think you can agree that the Reds werent in it even for the wild cards this year for the entire 2nd half of the year..
facing callup non studs isnt ALWAYS easy as you have not seen them before but its still better than facing pitchers that have MLB season long talent, there are always exceptions but you can even see in Vegas that the totals on baseball games are always higher for the games that dont matter like Reds/brewers games in September versus the games in the first half of the year
..the odds show there are just more runs that are going to be scored in those games in the 2nd half of the year versus the first half which would be the reason for those adjusted odds..
Votto has been terrific though in the 2nd half...
