One of the best divisions in all of baseball last year was the NL Central, and it was expected that we would get more of the same this season. The St. Louis Cardinals and Pittsburgh Pirates, as well as the Chicago Cubs, were all among the top betting odds favorites to make a playoff run at the end of the season. While the expectation was that these three would be engaged in a tight struggle, it hasn’t really played out that way. The Cubs have been dominant, and are currently sitting with an 8-game lead as we approach the end of the first half of the season. The Cardinals and Pirates are scrambling to keep pace, which makes this series all the more important. A poor performance by either team here could see the gap widen to a point that becomes impossible to get back. The second of four games in the series is set to go on Tuesday night in St. Louis, and you can catch it on national TV on ESPN.
