    Good Value on the Cubs to win the Division at +135

    I'm on the Cubs to win the division at +135. The Cubs should be in first place by a significant margin but their bullpen was garbage early in the year so their run differential didn't matter since they kept losing close games. The Cubs bullpen is better with Kimbrel and every other team in the division has significant flaws. Milwaukee's pitching is bad and Yelich is the only consistent hitter for average, Cardinals offense has been bad, Reds offense is inconsistent, and Pirates pitching is inconsistent. The Cubs starting rotation of Quintana, Hendriks, Lester, Darvish has looked better recently, and Hamels is the best in this division by far. Cubs offense is as good as any offense in the division as well.

    I don't think the odds are low at all, the Cubs would be up 7-8 games but the bullpen was trash, now they have Kimbrel and will likely add more arms in the bullpen at the deadline. the cubs run differential is the best in the division by far. Milwaukee isn't the same team this year.

    Not that I care about your opinion +135 is great value since I think the odds of the Cubs to win the division is better than 50%.

    I am still trying to understand the logic. There are better ways to invest money for a few months then something that isn't guaranteed or has no value taking it now.

    There's less than 70 games left, the best portfolio average 10-12% a year and I can make these bets and still have capital to use in other ways.

    Yeah I don't see the Cubs pulling away quickly, the bullpen's middle relief is still an issue, but I think that's the value, if it was easy the price wouldn't bet +135.

    I know our offense has stunk but can goldsmidt have really fallen this far this fast? He not close to old yet! Surely he gonna have a better second half? He gets back to the .900 ops guy he been the last 5 years, Ozuna comes back from injury, one of our young hitters gets hot (O’Neal has been tearing it up all a sudden), they don’t have to be great offensively, the starting pitching has been really good after the terrible 1st month. The bullpen has been great, losing hicks hurts but Martinez will be fine as closer and they got several other good arms in the pen. There a lot of pitching on the market, wouldn’t surprise me if they added there. Bat might be better but not many impact bats available.

    I wouldn’t count out the reds either, I made a few small future plays on them over the asb, while you making excuses for cubs if it wasn’t for reds poor start they would be leading the division.

    Unless cubs find a way to win some road games where they been awful they gonna get passed by someone who plays consistent ball in 2nd half.

    I think the Reds are the biggest threat to the CUbs in the division, underrated pitching. I don't think their offense is good enough right now but they might make a move at the deadline.
