No team has ever locked up a division title in the month of June, and while that trend will surely continue unabated, there are some baseball fans who already believe that the result of the NL Central is a foregone conclusion. Everyone is getting a little swept up in the Chicago Cubs story, and the fact that they have a 10-game lead in what was expected to be one of the toughest divisions in professional ball is only adding fuel to the fire. The Cubs came out of nowhere last season to put together a great season with a talented group of youngsters, and that experience seems to have given a major boost of confidence to the entire squad. There is still an awful long way to go in the season, though, and while the Cubs may be among the MLB betting odds favorites now, things do change. They have a tough trip to New York this week, and will face the Mets at Citi Field on Thursday night.
