I voted Cardinals, but here is my prediction:
Braves win their game
Cardinals jump out to an early lead. LaRussa, in his great wisdom, uses about 8 pitchers, all in double switches. So going into the bottom of the 9th, we have an outfield of A Chambers, S Robinson, and S Schumaker. Infield of Descalso, Punto, The Riot, and Albert. We then lose on a bases loaded walk and Arther Rhodes is the losing pitcher.
The way this season has gone, this would not surpirse me.

I like the Cardinals better and love to watch Albert hit but I think the Braves would put up a better show in the playoffs.
Plus, watching Jason Heyward should be just as entertaining, right?

I'm voting Cardinals, but I thought Mizzoubaseball's comment was pretty accurate 
Gotta pull for the Birds... my mother needs the extra paychecks
The Cardinals could definitely make it interesting in the playoffs. They were 9-9 against the Brewers, 6-3 against the Phillies, and 4-3 against the Diamondbacks.

Longtime Braves fan, but let's face it. Even if they somehow survive today (and maybe tomorrow), they will be out quickly in the NLDS. Especially since they would, I believe, play Milwaukee. Does anyone really think Atlanta could beat Milwaukee?
Just about nothing is working right now, and a system-wide collapse like this is not going to right itself between now and the weekend.
May as well let the Cardinals have it. At least they have a shot at doing something with a playoff opportunity. They would open in Philly, and the Phillies have not been all that great lately. They were on a big time skid until Atlanta came to town.

When you come back from an early 5-0 deficit and win the game convincingly...something is going your way. I voted for the Cards....

Yes, good point! And a true baseball fan knows who Larry is!!!
I voted for the Cards because, because...they pay son's salary. 
And....the Cards win the wild card!
TPM,
And that is the main reason I'm pulling for the Cards, too! Congrats to DK's team!

Someone reminded the Braves they're originally from Boston and they choked.
