9. Cardinals (Rising)
Redbirds of a Feather Flocking Together: Winners of 11 out of 13, the Cardinals have built themselves a seven-game cushion in the NL Central. Chris Carpenter shuts down the Dodgers (8 5 2 2 1 8) to kick off a three-game series in LA that winds up going the Redbirds' way. He's got eight quality starts out of nine since the beginning of July, and he leads the league in ERA (2.27) while ranking second in K/BB (5.3), tied for third in wins (13), and sixth in SNLVAR. The latter category is led by Adam Wainwright, who's also tied for first in wins (14), fourth in ERA (2.61), and fifth in strikeouts (152).
