2. Cardinals (Up)
Bustin' Out: After going 11-13 while averaging just 3.8 runs per game and hitting 12 homers from May 1-26, the Cardinals' offense racks up 48 runs and 10 homers over a seven-game span, helping the team maintain pace with the Reds in the NL Central. Albert Pujols connects for four of those homers—three in one game—after hitting just one in his previous 28 games; yeah, he's still pretty good. Favored to win the division by a whopping nine games, the Cards suddenly find themselves in a race, but it's not because they're doing much wrong thus far; they're playing much better than their PECOTA-forecast .546 clip.
