At the beginning of the season, the Brewers were +250 to win the division.
The Reds pre-season win total was 87 with the Brewers and Cardinals next in line at 84 1/2 with a ways back to the Cubs @ 73 1/2.
The Brewers are 4 1/2 games back and they are a stunning +1800 to win the division and I just don't get it.
They have a few players injured but no real major ones.
Why are the Brewers +1800 to win the NL Central being 4 1/2 games back?
They are also +7500 to win the NL Pennant from a +1500 pre-season line and with 2 wildcard teams from each league, I believe they have a reasonable chance to make the playoffs.
Thoughts anyone?
