From Last Night:

• Felix goes 7 innings, allowed 1 run and leaves with a 7-1 lead. The Mariners gave up 1 in the 8th and 6 in the 9th to fall to the Red Sox.

• Darvish strikes out 14 batters, walks none, in 7 shutout innings
• The Cardinals pummel the Pirates to salvage one of five in Pittsburgh
• Hamels throws 8 shutout innings, Papelbon blows it
• Norris is solid against his old club
• Indians and Royals keep their winning streaks going as Raburn hits 2 HR
• 11 K for Teheran as the Braves beat the Rockies

What I’m Watching Today:

• Jose Fernandez looks to slow the Tribe (7p Eastern)
• Bumgarner faces Archer (7p Eastern)
• Shelby Miller leads the Cards into Cinci (7p Eastern)
• Zimmermann tries to get back on track against the Crew (8p Eastern)

The Big Question:

• Who do you like in the NL Central?

The Pirates, Cardinals, and Reds are all 60+ win teams and have clear paths to the playoffs. The Cardinals have the lowest floor, the Pirates are playing well, and the Reds are probably the most talented. But Cards don’t have Yadi, the Pirates are playing above their heads, and the Reds have Dusty holding them back. They’re all good teams and will likely all make it at least until the play-in game. My money is on the Cardinals, but it’s going to be fun.
