Pirates are a batless team. Very good pitching has helped them to be where they are now. I also don't think their pitching staff will do as well in the remaining two months. They'll fall to third place.
The Brewers have the better line-up among contenders, it's the juggernaut starting pitching that baffles me. Gallardo & Greinke are good examples: a couple of good starts and then a terrible one. Marcum doesn't last enough innings and the other 2 are below average.
St. Louis have a decent rotation, their bullpen is not as bad as they say, and they have depth. Depth may be the key. And injuries.
As for the playoffs, any given team can beat any other given team on any given series. KC just tied a series at Fenway.
Man, was I bright!

Garg, remember when I wrote that the Cards were going to give the Brew Crew a run for their money?
Well, I gotta admit it. I was wrong.
Man, was I waaay too gentlemanly!
And totally wrong.
