I believe the Cubs are the favorites to win the NL Central now that Cody Bellinger has returned, though a lot of the doom-and-gloom fans continue to say they are bringing back the same team. While that’s not necessarily true, Chicago did earn 91 Pythagorean wins last season. With that in mind, I thought I’d take a quick look at the division.

Slow starts and poor finishes in the last two seasons didn’t endear David Ross to fans, and many analysts say Craig Counsell may be worth as many as eight wins.
