I just don't think they can hang with the Cubs and Cardinals, but we'll see I guess. Hart's going on the DL now too. Their pitching staff outside of Gallardo is a complete joke. They just went 3-4 against the Nationals and Padres, and now go on the road to play the Dodgers and Astros. They're 9 games under .500 since June 1st, as their rotation came back to earth. I think they basically felt they're most likely out of it as well or they would've traded for a starting pitcher. They're right there at 4.5 games out, but I just don't think they have the starting pitching to go on a big winning streak.
