The Reds scored 666 runs and allowed 826, a run differential of -160. That works out to 4.11 runs scored and 5.10 allowed per game, against a league average of 4.48 for each side. Based on those runs, a typical team would have won about 65 games, so the Reds finished 10 wins above that mark. A gap that size for the Reds usually comes from one-run games and bullpen results, and it tends to shrink over a full season. The luck table ranks every club on the same measure.
The Reds were 38-43 at Great American Ball Park and 37-44 away from it. The Reds home and road records sit close together, which is normal for an MLB club.

The NRFI Lab puts the Reds next to every other team and starter on the same split.
How to read the Reds numbers
Putting the Reds numbers to use: the run differential and expected wins say more about team quality than the raw record, the home and road split shows how much Great American Ball Park helps, and the last-ten totals show whether recent Reds games have run high or low. With 3 one-run games in the last ten, the Reds are a good example of why the run line at -1.5 or +1.5 can price very differently from the moneyline. None of these Reds figures predicts a single game, and no bet is ever a sure thing.
