That's what my gut tells me because half of their everyday lineup continues to slump, but they've been scoring runs pretty consistently (still mostly via HR) lately and beating good teams. That said, the minute their pitching starts to falter (ie Garcia, Buehrle and possibly Floyd), they could stumble badly. They are lucky to be in a division that is almost as shitty as ours.
