2008 National League Central

Another tough one to pick with a decent battle between Milwaukee and Chicago as a strong possibility.

Sixth Place:
Once a proud team in the National League, the Pittsburgh Pirates have struggled since Barry Bonds left town and headed west. 2008 will be no different for the perennial doormats of the NL Central.

Fifth Place:
The race for third through fifth will be a tight battle, Pittsburgh could even stay near this group. In the end the Houston Astros will find themselves in the fifth slot.

Fourth Place:
Can Ken Griffey Jr. stay healthy? That will be a big must for the Cincinatti Reds in 2008 if they want to be competitive through September.

Third Place:
Just a couple years back the St. Louis Cardinals were the powers of not only the NL Cenrtal, but Major League baseballs regular season. This year they battle to hold onto third place.

Second Place:
Last season the race for the division crown came down to the last days of the season and the Cubbies pulled it out. The Milwaukee Brewers are hoping to be on the other end of that result this year but the Cubs will have a lot to say about that.

Division Champion:
Not since 1908 have the Chicago Cubs won the World Series, they will make another run towards it in 2008, the 100th anniversary of their last title. They could advance to the World Series, but a win is unlikely.
