Pirates, totally. We're 4 behind Pittsburgh, 3 up on Giants. A
lot more plausible that we finish ahead of Giants than that we
pass Pirates.
Also more likely that we finish ahead of Giants with some room
to spare, than that we pass the Pirates with room to spare. The
"room to spare" part matters, because if we're 5 up on the
Giants going into the last week, for example, you might be able
to set up the rotation so that you can get Arrieta or Lester
starting the sudden-death game, rather than Haren or Hammel.
As Ron says, if the Cubs win, they don't need to worry. (At
least about the Giants.)

The Cubs have 6 games left with the Pirates. Getting home field
would be huge, so I'd roll the dice and hope for the Giants to
sweep.

Giants. Secondary gain: I still want them to pass the Dodgers.

Wow, I was shocked to find out this guy was still pitching . . .
[quote]Randy Wolf - S - Tigers
Tigers acquired LHP Randy Wolf from the Blue Jays for cash
considerations.
The Tigers were in need of a starter with Anibal Sanchez and
Daniel Norris both sidelined, so Wolf is back in the majors and
will pitch Saturday against the Rangers. The veteran southpaw
has compiles a 2.53 ERA and 106/40 K/BB ratio in 139 2/3 innings
over 23 starts this season at the Triple-A level. He turns 39 on
Saturday.
