The Cincinnati Reds (64-60) and Los Angeles Angels (59-64) square off Monday night as they open a three-game interleague set, with both clubs clinging to postseason hopes that are fading fast.
For Cincinnati, every game from here on out feels like do-or-die. The Reds sit just 1.5 games shy of the final NL Wild Card spot but have virtually no shot at chasing down the Brewers, who hold a commanding 15-game cushion atop the division. After dropping back-to-back games against Milwaukee, the Reds know they can’t afford to let this series slip if they want to keep October baseball in sight.
The Angels, meanwhile, are hanging on by a thread in the AL playoff race. Dropping two straight to the last-place Athletics was a gut punch, leaving them 10 games out in the AL West and seven back in the Wild Card hunt.

Los Angeles Angels vs Cincinnati Reds team news
Los Angeles Angels team news
Zach Neto continues to be a bright spot at the top of the order, batting .271 with 20 homers and 53 RBIs, while Taylor Ward leads the club in power production with 29 long balls and 90 RBIs despite a modest .234 average.
Mike Trout, now entrenched as the team’s DH, has chipped in 20 home runs and 52 RBIs. Still, with no starter announced for Monday, the Halos look poised to lean on their shaky bullpen—one that has helped produce a team ERA of 4.70, ranking 26th in the majors.
Cincinnati Reds team news
Cincinnati will counter with Brady Singer, who’s been steady if unspectacular this year. The 29-year-old righty carries a 10-9 record and a 4.31 ERA into his 25th start, with the Reds taking three of his last four outings. He blanked the Phillies over six innings in his most recent turn, and his consistency could be just what Cincinnati needs after a heartbreaking extra-inning loss to Milwaukee on Saturday—a game where Ke’Bryan Hayes and Spencer Steer homered but the bullpen let the lead slip away late.
