6. Cardinals (Rising)
Having already opened up a can of Whoop Ass on the rest of the league by winning 20 out of 24, the Cardinals become the first team of the year to open up a double-digit lead in their division. John Smoltz continues to kick sand in the faces of the league's 98-pound weaklings, stifling the Nationals (6 4 1 1 1 6), while Matt Holliday pounds three homers, two of them decisive three-run blasts. Holliday's hitting .317/.431/.689 with nine homers since arriving, a performance that could price him out of the Cards' range when he reaches free agency this winter.
