NL Central Intelligence: A Look Around the Division for the Week of July 8

There was some major news in the Central this week. That’s a good thing since we’re about to have three days without baseball.

Chicago Cubs

  • The Cubs are now in first place. They have the best record in the National League at 54-38, and have to be feeling pretty good about themselves headed into the break.
  • It won’t be a break for everyone, as Javy Baez and Willson Contreras were named All-Star starters. Jon Lester was also selected as a third representative, but will not be available to pitch due to Sunday’s start.
