Please try to remember the last 20-plus days whenever you want to jump to conclusions. A week or so ago, the Milwaukee Brewers looked like maybe they could just keep on steam rolling the way they did last year. Then the Cardinals got hot until they ran into the Brewers again. Now the Pirates have cruised out to a lead. But the Cubs have won four in a row and the four teams are right now separated by 2½ games.
The reality is, there is a ton of baseball left to play.
