The Brewers. They finished 7.5 games behind us with CC having one of the best few months runs in the history of pitching, and Ben Sheets pitching great ball, winning 13 games. Yes Rickie Weeks is finally hitting like everybody thought he would and Hoffman's an upgrade at closer, but I still don't see how they can really be a legitimate threat to us with their rotation being Gallardo, Bush, Looper, Parra, and Suppan.

Look at the Cards rotation though, it's worse, with a worse bullpen, and a worse lineup. I think the Brewers are way more of a threat than the Cards.

I don't think the Cardinals rotation is worse and neither is their lineup. They scored more runs than the Brewers last year and are doing the same this year.
