I also should have mentioned that the Cubs should be leading the division based upon Pythagorean estimate of W/L's. The Cubs have lost every close game, and the Brewers have won their close games. That kind of fortune does tend to turn around over the course of a season.

I am impressed with the Brewers' rotation, though. Some sabermetric types had written articles in the off-season predicting that Dave Bush would have a big year. His game against the Astros seemed to be in keeping with those predictions. And Bush is the No. 5 starter for Milwaukee. However, in the past, the Brewers seemed to get demoralized when Sheets is injured (kind of like the Cubs used to do when Prior would be injured). If it happens again, I could see the Brewers really falling in the standings.
