89. And I’m being conservative.
Brewers won’t be very competitive. Williams has back issues on top of losing Burnes and Woodruff
Cards already having injury woes.
I’m optimistic about our starting rotation

90. I just don't think there are many (maybe not any) other good teams in the Central. If Gray misses much time the Cards rotation is basically crap. The Brewers got significantly worse. The Pirates are the Pirates. The Cubs are really the only other team I see much hope for. And even they have some major question marks.
I just think the Reds are gonna be able to handle injuries well (barring an insane number), and will pile up some wins once the injury bug starts hitting other teams.
I like Kool-Aid.

Go Reds!

I am going 92 wins.
No Luke “Dream” Weaver starts this year with the domino effect of a more rested bullpen should give the Reds a 10 win increase from last year.

80 +/- couple games
I think the Reds overachieved last year, given they played at a .600 clip during that crazy 40ish game stretch from May to June.
The rest of the year the team hovered around .475.
I believe it was something near .450 during the second half.
Hopefully we will see a more consistent team this year. Playing near .500 month to month and steadily improving, growing into a strong contender in Aug and Sept.
I want them to become that young, fierce team no one wants to see in the playoffs.
Went with 84. There is a wide range of outcomes for this team. A few good breaks and some good health could lead to closer to 90 wins but there's just too many question marks for me right now.

With this young lineup it's a tough year to project the Reds record and I feel like +90 wins is as legitimate a guess as -80. I don't really believe "over performing" happens very often, but rather baseball is such a game of adjustments that I view last year as somewhat normal when a bunch of talented newcomers appear in the league at the same time. The cat and mouse routine starts anew in a few weeks, I'll be optimistic and say the Reds are better than last year. 85 wins.
Next Reds manager, second shooter. --Confirmed on Redszone.
93. Glad it is finally public after the last few years. I think we are in for a fun year. I am excited for the first time in a long time.

I think 91 games and we win the division.
Old school 1983 (03-17-2024)
I picked 86 wins.
There's a lot of what-if in this team. If Greene and De La Cruz take steps forward, that win total should be low. Greene needs to pitch, not be learning to pitch. I worry about him developing a hanging curve. Elly needs to play better defense and be more consistent at the plate.
Other key players:
Montas and Lodolo: health. Lodolo is probably a bit behind in his development.
Ashcraft: of the trio of young pitchers, I expect Ashcraft to make the leap to the next level and be a solid mid-rotation guy. He might even do more.
Abbott: let's hope he's developed a ground ball pitch. The fly ball high wire act is tempting fate.
McLain: Let's face it- everything changed when he arrived last season. We need more of that from him.
Stephenson: I believe he might just be the key player for the Reds in 2024. Not for his bat. Its game calling and pitch framing we need from him. Improving his pitch framing would make the whole pitching staff look better.
I voted for under 64 wins, but only so that it would lower the average win total, making it easier for the Reds to beat the Redszone projection.
I actually think the Reds will win 89 games and the NL Central.

I think we win the central. St. Louis too old, Brewers aren't the same, Cubs will be the Cubs. 90-72
