Who wins the NL Central?

Worst division in baseball?

I think I like Milwaukee the best - if their pitching stays consistent.

Cubs imo have the most talent, but obv they havin trouble putting it together, I mean can they keep playing this badly?

Cardinals imo are overachieving, maybe thats the Cubs fan in me talkin, but they are relying on one player offensively. They're pitching staff is great top to bottom, can Franklin keep it up?

Sleeping on the Reds? Good pitching staff but I'm sure Dusty Baker will f*ck it up somehow, and ruin a couple good arms in the process (ie Prior & Wood)

Who wins the division?

The team with the MOST upside is the Cubs.

W Series are often won when many members of the team have career years..The opposite has taken place for the Cubs. They for sure are not out of it. The last few games Bradley has begun to hit from the left side. But I don't think Aram will recover..he will not hit the long ball, and with Soriano and Soto both on the slide, I don't see how they can recover as a team on Offense.

Look for Aram to hit the DL and Fox to get the nod at 3rd

i like the astros

they have started to play better, and that lineup may be best in division

if they get washburn or another quality starter they should be in discussion in september

If Ludwick gets back to form then the Cards have a chance.......

Brewers will be there all season but I don't really like the pitching as a whole...

I think you have to give the edge to the Cubbies....I think that Randy Wells is a big reason why.....the guy has been awesome and if he keeps it up and Z and Harden do their thing they will be the team to beat.....Dempster will be back in the 2nd half as well
