Ryan Howard missed almost three weeks due to injury, but he's still only six RBI behind Albert Pujols for the NL lead. Of course, there's a lot more that could happen with over a month remaining in the season, but the Pujols-Howard RBI race figures to have a major impact on the pool outcome.

With Jud Ehrbar capturing a solid lead in our standings this week, his hold on the top spot would be significantly impacted by a Howard run on the RBI crown. All else remaining equal, John Agnello would be the primary beneficiary of such a development, as this would vault him past Jud by just a few HBP.
