Can Roger Clemens and the Astros rally and claim the wild card?
The National League playoff picture is about as murky as it can possibly be.

The New York Mets appear to be the only sure thing in terms of playoff participants. The other three playoff berths are completely up for grabs.

While the St. Louis Cardinals and San Diego Padres currently lead their respective divisions, the races in the Central and West remain very tight. In addition, there are currently 10 teams within 6 1/2 games fighting for the wild card berth.
