NL Central Closer Then You Think

The NL Central is cluster at the top of the division, is that a surprise....no, but the Milwaukee Brewers leading the NL Central is the surprise. In second are the Cardinals, followed by the Reds and Astros and then finally the loveably hateable Cubs. The Cubs coming into the season were being toted as the winner of this division and getting back to the promise land or should I say finally to the promise land, what has it been, 360 days above a century since they last won it? Anyways back to the main point, the winner of this division will be the...Cubs. Proof, well I have it. The Brewers will ride into oblivion with their pitching staff driving, considering that they are ranked 23rd in the majors in ERA, and only two clear cut hitters in Fielder and Braun. The Cardinals are a challenge with what could be one of the greatest, if not the greatest hitter of all time in Phat Albert, not to mention they are top 10 in ERA, but their batting is going to be their Achilles heal. The Reds...well they are the Reds, good run but better luck next year. Dusty has done a good job but they just do not have the fire power nor the pitching to make a serious run at this. The Astros have a runphobia, they do not like to score. They are in the bottom ten teams in runs in the majors, so that puts them out of things in my books. Then we get to the Cubs. Cubs are sitting right now with a top 5 ERA and a struggling offense. Aramis Ramirez is coming back soon and that should lift their offense off the ground. Only 3.5 games out of first this will be an interesting race to say the least.

*Prediction*
Cubs will win the NL Central
