Dan McCloskey is alone at the top, thanks to Matt Kemp’s run-scoring explosion this week (10 R in last 5 games).  This puts “unique pick” Ryan Braun out of the lead in runs, and Jason Salavon back down to three points.

This thing’s all over if Roy Halladay can’t hold his lead in NL IP.  Roy, rotation-mate Cliff Lee, and Clayton Kershaw are neck-and-neck with one start apiece remaining, but it’s possible that Chris Carpenter (6.1 IP behind Halladay) could enter the mix.  Carpenter could actually fit in two starts before the season ends for a Cardinal squad fighting for a Wild Card berth.  Again, Halladay slips and McCloskey wins.

Sid Harris can still win if Albert Pujols loses the NL HR crown to Kemp, Dan Uggla, or anyone else.  However, this shift only matters if Halladay holds on to IP.
