Definiely agree that these 3 teams will be in the playoffs. It's been pretty much this way since the All Star break. One of the highlights of this season. I don't have a favourite here, but if I were a betting man, I'd have to go with the Cardinals based on their playoff experience.
Over in the AL, the "race" is for the 2 wildcard spots. Tampa Bay and Texas have them right now but there are 4 teams who are doing the "nipping". Cleveland is a half-game back, Baltimore is 2 games off the pace, Kanas City is 3 and the Yankees are 3.5 back.
