The Brewers are no sure thing for the playoffs either. I see them and the Cards being 50/50 for the wildcard.
The Phillies are close, they just need another quality starter, another quality RP, and a decent bat for the end of the lineup. This team was one or two trades away from being a serious contender. They get Nady and Marte and that's a huge addition, even if they gave up some good kids. They get one out of Sabathia and Harden to go along that trade and they are one of the favorites. It really wasn't that far out of reach.
They are always one top starter away from contending, but management never does anything.
Feliz comes back bottom lineup will be fine and losing Gordon for the season hurt though he pitched like shit this year. Watching past two games think bullpen is horrible, but they are still one best in league. Durbin has been in this type of pressure situation and Madson should be the 8th inning guy.
Cardinals bullpen will cost them in the end as Brewers win Wild Card by 3-4 games.
