For the Reds, it all comes down to health.

If Phillips and Votto stay in the lineup and the supporting cast of Frazier, Hamilton and Mesoraco continue to do their thing with the bat, this team could be a legitimate contender in the National League Central.

With a young back-end of the starting rotation, there’s bound to be some question marks. That being said, a staff anchored by Cueto and Bailey has a lot going for it and when you have Aroldis Chapman at the back end of the game, things could definitely be worse.

Projected finish: 82-80, Fifth in NL Central
