3. Cardinals (Falling)
The Cards are one game up on the Brewers thanks to taking two of three from them in their last series. The offense came from an unexpected trio this week, with Skip Schumaker (.385/.407/.538), Joe Thurston (.333/.467/.583), and Nick Stavinoha (.278/.263/.556) all hitting well. The problem for the Cardinals is that no one else hit at all, but they still managed to go 5-2 on the week. They can thank some fantastic starting pitching for that, as the highest ERA from the week was from Joel Pineiro (3.86). Chris Carpenter looked especially good, with 10 strikeouts over eight innings and no walks or runs; he has yet to give up an earned run on the season in 23 IP.
