Figured with 49 games left and a close race between 4 teams in division..
I'd give it a thread...

Cubs on top with Cardinals Brewers Pirates all within 3 games of lead..

Could be a battle to final week

Maybe, but I still don't think they'll stay there. The stretch they're on right now is crazy hot but it can't stay that way for long. The key is not letting them open up a big lead.
