Competition will be Tough

Those team pages offer a complete preview of each club in the division. Included is an analysis of each club’s starting rotation, relievers, and every day players. We also consider every teams recent history, trades, and free-agent signings. In the NL Central, we like the Milwaukee Brewers. They’ve got a solid starting five and have retained some good hitters.

Although we’ve picked the Chicago Cubs to finish second, we could have easily chosen the St. Louis Cardinals to be in the two-spot. The Cards have a way of getting the job done, while the Cubs could struggle to meet expectations. By the way, the Cincinnati Reds are on the upswing. They could be a dark horse in this race. One team you won’t have to worry about are the Pittsburgh Pirates. They cleaned house and are starting a major rebuilding effort.

Our NL Central Preview 2020 Projections

In creating our NL Central Preview 2020, we found that the Pirates and Reds are lacking. Pittsburgh is starting to rebuild while Cincy has been rebuilding and improving. However, the Red Legs are not yet in a place where they can be competitive. The three other teams, the Brewers, Cubs, and Cardinals, could be interchangeable. In other words, we see this division being a three-way race with the Brew Crew finally taking it down.

  1. Milwaukee Brewers
  2. Chicago Cubs (Wildcard)
  3. St Louis Cardinals
  4. Cincinnati Reds
  5. Pittsburgh Pirates
