Cards lineup for tonight for the scoreboard watchers:

Craig RF
Jay CF
Pujols 1B
Holliday LF
Lopez 2B
Feliz 3B
Anderson C
Ryan SS
Garcia P

Looks like Pujols and Holliday are both fine. Also LaRussa has finally wised up and put Lopez on the right side of the infield where he belongs and is playing Ryan at SS.

Infante has played in every game for his team since July 29, and has recorded no fewer than four plate appearances in any of those games. In that span, he has averaged 4.63 PAs per game. If he continues on that pace (likely, since he's had a hot bat all year and Chipper Jones is out) he will amass 162 PAs in the Braves' 35 remaining games. That would bring him to a total of 509 PAs by season's end.

Infante hardly ever walks, but he'll stumble into a few walks between now and then. Let's give him a few walks, and say he'd end up with 158 ABs in 162 PAs down the stretch. Remember, batting average is calculated by ABs, but eligibility is determined by PAs. He'd finish with 484 ABs in 509 PAs, and would need to amass a total of 159 (rounded up) hits on the season to finish above Votto's current batting average.

That means Infante would only need 46 hits down the stretch - essentially a batting average of .292 (rounded up) in his remaining games - while accumulating PAs at his recent pace in order to beat Votto.

In short, Infante will need to not play, go cold or have somebody else get hot (or some combination of those) to not win the batting title at this point.

You are forgetting 1 guy. Glaus will come back off the DL soon. He will probably see some time at 3B, and that moves Prado to 2B on those days. It won't take much, and you might see that lineup 4 or 5 games.
