8/19 Other Games

[UMFan83]

That red dot in the Cubs rear mirror that was the Cards is starting to fade, I still believe, when all is said and done, they won't come within 8-10 games of a playoff spot.

 

You think they are going to play at least 5.5-7.5 games worse than the Brewers over the next 38 games?

 

With that bullpen and no Carpenter? Yes.

 

...but they havent had a bullpen or Carpenter all year and have managed to stay within 2.5 games of the Brewers in the first 125 games. Oh and plus they will likely get Wainwright back in some capacity.

 

Face it they are a decent, not great team, with pitching issues and a pretty damn good offense. If they play .500 ball the rest of the year, the Brewers would have to go 23-12 to make the most conservative part of your prediction come true.

...but the Cardinals have been treading water for a while now and the Brewers have been trending upward.

 

I could see his prediction coming through and don't think it's that far-fetched. Not necessarily likely, but not crazy either.
