I put the Mets as a bad team for the Cards since its this week and they'll have the B team going, and for us, they may or may niot have their regulars back by the time we get to them. Seems like the schedule gives the Cards a slight advantage, but the good thing is that we have enough games vs. the Rockies and Giants that we have the chance to take the Wild Card race into our own hands if it comes doen to that.

The Rockies have been one of the best teams in MLB since May.

I've heard on this board several times that the Cards have played the easiest schedule in MLB. How can that be the case AND they have an easier schedule down the stretch?

There is no such thing as balanced schedules.

Here is how I see the Cubs and Cardinals faring through August

 

Cardinals

1 @ NYM (1-0)

3 @ PIT (3-0)

3 v. CIN (2-1)

3 v. SD (1-2)...just a hunch, teams go on slides vs. bad teams occasionally

3 @ LAD (1-2)

4 @ SD (3-1)

3 v. HOU (2-1)

3 v. WAS (3-0)

 

Cubs

1 @ CIN (1-0)

4 @ COL (1-3)...bad feeling about this series

3 v. PHI (2-1)

3 v. PIT (3-0)

3 @ SD (2-1)

4 @ LAD (2-2)

3 v. WAS (2-1)

3 v. NYM (2-1)

1 v. HOU (1-0)

 

16-9 for the Cubs, 16-7 for the Cardinals, leading to a 1 game Cardinals lead going into September.

Maybe eventually we'll get lucky and the Royals will actually be good sometime and the White Sox suck for 13 straight years.
