The NL Wild card looks like a lock for Padres and Cardinals. The last spot will come down to Giants and Braves.
I doubt the Braves will be making a slew of trades like they did last year because they probably don't have the prospects needed to do so, and even if they did, they don't want to deplete their system. The Giants may have the prospects, but I don't think they are nearly as close as the Braves were last year to justify trading prospects to what, lose to the Brewers in round 1?
If the Giants fall out of it, I can see Joc Pedersen and Carlos Rodon being HOT commodities.
