@Bobbybaseball: As the article states the line was drawn at 4 games under .500. The Cubs are only 1 game under.
I'm surprised at the number of votes for the Giants. Since they like to develop their core from within their style is not to be sellers. Plus, there's indications that they're turning it around having won 4 of their last 5. With Posey having an MVP-like start and hope of getting Bumgarner back around the deadline, I just don't see them as sellers. If they do sell it will be a very limited sell off.

Who deemed which teams on this list were "Expected Contenders"? Pirates and Royals will garner most votes because they were never really considered to go that deep this season. The Jays, Giants, & Mets are much more compelling cases for this poll.
No rangers?
