Our chances are basicall this, if the Cardinals win every game the rest of the season then Atlanta can do no better then 3-6 for the rest of the year. We have 10 games left while the Braves have 9.

If the Braves win 4 out of 9 games then the Cardinals will be eliminated.
-3.5
5.0 (possible Cardinals wins)
-2.0 (wins Braves need to advance)
------
-0.5

I'm pretty sure this is right:

Cardinals: 83 current wins + 10 wins = 93 wins

93 wins - 87 current Braves wins = 6 wins

6-3 for the Braves to tie the Cardinals if the Cardinals go undefeated.

The 3-6 mark does work for Milwaukee, though.

Atl: 8 games left, 87 wins

Stl: 9 games left, 84 wins

If stl goes 7-2 (91 wins), Atl needs to go 3-5 (90 wins) for us to get in (or 4-4 to force a playoff)

Cards:
3 vs Nym
3 vs Chi
3 @ Hou

Atlanta:
2 @ Fla
3 @ Was
3 vs Phi

Still a long shot, but at least they are making it fun.

Wouldn't it suck if we passed the Braves only to lose out to an even hotter SF team?

Do I get any love for starting this thread way before this run started?

Gotta believe!
