why are the rays back in the wild card race but not the cardinals?

according to espns reactions they are about the same back and they are both playing the team they are chasing

Update:

yes i will admit that the rays are better than the cardinals but they have to catch a better team than the cardinals do

    Tampa Bay is 4.5 games back from the Wild Card, while St. Louis is 5.5 games back. That's why.

    Well, the Rays are 7 1/2 games back.. in their division. In the WC, though, they only 4.5 games back. Also, they have 5 more games against the Red Sox in September. This makes it reasonable to think they are "back in it".

    Source(s): Go Rays! 4.5 GAMES BACK! October baseball is only that much closer....

    Cause Rays are the better team.
