  The Giants have been nearly unbeatable - in the previous week they had a win streak of 6 straight games, and after dropping one they now have a new 6 game win streak going.  They are 9-1 in their last 10 games and have now opened a 5 game lead over the surging and now second place Cardinals.  The Cardinals and the Cubs, meanwhile, are two teams headed in different directions.  After briefly flirting with overtaking the Giants just a couple of weeks ago, the Cubs now find themselves at .500 and trailing the Giants by 6.5 games.  The Cubs have lost five straight.  Meanwhile, the Cardinals have won 5 in a row and now find themselves in sole possession of second place. The Pirates continue to badly underperform as compared to the actual standings on this date , while the Brooklyn Robins, behind a surging Babe Herman, are outperforming expectations. It will be interesting to how quickly (and if) the Cubs can rebound, as their offense is quite powerful and, on ...
