After taking two of three from the Florida Marlins on the weekend, the Atlanta Braves have now moved into sole possession of second place in the NL East. They’re just a half game behind the Giants in the NL Wild Card race, but Wild Card leader Colorado continues to surge, and has put 4.5 games between itself and Atlanta. And despite the fact that the Braves have played well lately, the Phillies have been that much better, opening up a seven-game bulge in the East.

The Cubs’ most recent skid – combined with the Cardinals continuing to roll – has seen the NL Central deficit grow to eight games for Chicago. Houston, playing a bit better lately, has pulled within two games, even threatening the Cubs’ grip on second place in the division.
The 26-year-old won five games in July, and has sported an even lower ERA this month, despite taking one serious ass-kicking in Coors. Wells started the month by pitching shutout ball into the eighth inning in Cincy, good enough for him to win his fourth straight start. Then came the beat-down in Colorado, but since then he’s responded with back-to-back quality outings, including 6 2/3 innings without an earned run allowed in a tough-luck loss Friday night.

This past week and change has been pure misery for the Cubs, who have lost six of seven while the Cardinals are surging. Suddenly, Chicago – looking to avoid a sweep against the Phillies Thursday afternoon – finds itself four games back of St. Louis, with the third-place Astros just three games back.
