Saaaaay. Doing anything tomorrow? Because it's looking like 162 games weren't quite enough. Oh, it's early to proclaim that with any certainty, but take a look at the awesome FanGraphs win-expectancy charts:
Cardinals Vs. Astros: St. Louis Increases Lead To 6-0; Braves Hanging On To 3-1 Lead
What those two graphs mean is that both teams are hovering around an 80% to 90% chance of winning their respective games. Why, it would be as unlikely for both the Braves and Cardinals to lose their games as it would be for two teams with a nine-game Wild Card lead in early September to blow it by the end of the month. Not bloody likely.
The Cardinals increased their lead against the Astros to 6-0 with a two-out Chris Carpenter single to score David Freese, which is probably a sign that the cosmos is pulling for the Cards, at least in this game. The Braves almost increased their lead with a Jack Wilson single, but Dan Uggla was thrown out at home by Hunter Pence, which is probably a sign that Hunter Pence has a good arm.
