Ultimately, both the 'Stros and the Cards will end up in the playoffs. One as Wild Card "Champion" and the other as Central Division Champ. Obviously the Red Birds are in a much better position to win it outright. Still, I think if anyone can catch 'em it will be Houston--it all depends on whether the 'Stros continue to play at a level beyond that of mere mortals and if the injuries to the Cards starters will take its toll.

It looks like the Stros have a little bit easier schedule. We will see how it pans out.
