The entire division is within 10 games of the lead. This pennant race could go down to the end. Do the big bats in Cincy win it all? Do the big arms in Chicago have Wrigley in the post-season? Can the Houston veterans dig one out? Will St. Louis make a mid-season move? Are the Pirates and Brewers capable of a comeback?

Milwaukee Brewers: Brooks Kieschnick has an OPS over 1 — as a pitcher/pinch-hitter. Sexson has 20+ dings and Jenkins isn't far behind. Only 10 games out.

Pittsburgh Pirates: Giles is healthy, Ramirez and Kendall are hitting.

Cincinnati Reds: Almost unbeatable in extra innings, the Reds will fight any one at any time.

Houston Astros: Strong bullpen combo of Wagner/Dotel, plus a field full of veterans.

St. Louis Cardinals: Renteria having breakout year, Pujols challenging .400, a healthy JD Drew and Bret Tomko coming around.

Chicago Cubs: Sosa appears to have worked out his issues during his suspension and has uncorked a few. Entire outfield batting .300. Prior, Wood, and Zambrano all sub-3.00 ERA.
