wainwright out for the season. but i still like the cards

Bcatswin · 02-23-11, 05:03 PM

Cant find odds anywhere, that being said im still going with my Reds!!!!!

mighty maron · 02-23-11, 05:08 PM

Brewers have decent shot

WvGambler · 02-23-11, 05:10 PM

If Wainright is as bad as they say, you gotta think Brewers. Wainright's loss is huuuuuge. More so than any additions this year, including Cliff Lee.

Bob Loblaw · 02-23-11, 05:13 PM

Brew Crew

head_strong · 02-23-11, 05:14 PM

Here are the odds to win the National League Pennant: (5Dimes)
Phillies+160
Giants+700
Braves+1000
Reds+1000
Rockies+1000
Cardinals+1100
Brewers+1400
Dodgers+1600
Cubs+2200
Marlins+2200
Mets+2200
Padres+2800
Diamondbacks+4000
Astros+4500
Nationals+5500
Pirates+13000
...based on this I'm guessing the Reds would be favored in the Central.

Thanks guys...

Jasonal_98 · 02-23-11, 05:33 PM

I think the Brew Crew has some real value.

warriorfan707 · 02-23-11, 05:34 PM

Brewers definitely has a ton of value

RudyRuetigger · 02-23-11, 05:38 PM

pirates

im gonna make a movie, pirates in the outfield

jmush · 02-23-11, 08:10 PM

brewers gonna have a shot now that wainwright is out

jagaf22 · 02-23-11, 08:13 PM

Throw a little on the Reds and Brewers...

Ace_of_Spades · 02-23-11, 08:48 PM

Brewers. Lineup is balanced, and pitching could be special.

AZNDL · 02-23-11, 08:51 PM

votto and chapman? reds hands down

MartinBlank · 02-23-11, 08:53 PM

I love the Reds.

Young pitching staff-----Volquez, Cueto, Bailey, Leake, and Arroyo still hanging around.

But Cincy's bats---wow. Votto, Phillips, Bruce, Stubbs---they all can hit.

Cubs jokes aside, +600 is great value. Just had everything go wrong last year. If Z's head is on, Dempster/Z/Garza is a pretty good trio.

seaborneq · 02-23-11, 10:17 PM

Z's head is never on. Scratch that thought if you like Cubs. He will be hurt, suspended, pitching horribly, or fighting a teammate, or perhaps all four at the same time. Don't count on big Z for shit.

KennyM10 · 02-23-11, 10:39 PM

Cards to win it, pirates and astros tied for last.

Cougar Bait · 02-23-11, 10:44 PM

Reds or Brewers

DrStale · 02-23-11, 10:46 PM

Brewerssssssssssss

EXhoosier10 · 02-23-11, 11:01 PM

Like d2 said, Cubs at +600 really is good value. Ya, things have to go right for them and bad for the rest, but STL already lost Wainwright.

If Carp, Pujols, or Holliday go down, they're average.
If Milwaukee gets off to a cold start, they're going to be forced to trade Prince and their season would likely be over unless the received a ML ready 1b to take over.
Cincinnati is probably the deepest team of them all. Votto is great, and they have a lot of above average players in Bruce, Phillips, Rolen, and Hernandez. Given their young pitching staff, at least one should break out and have a good year. No one injury could cause this team to lose like the rest.
And like Cincinnati, the Cubs have a lot of above average players with no real superstar. No one injury or down year will kill them.

Injuries happen. At 6 to 1, all it takes is 2 injuries and the Cubs will be in the hunt for #1 in the Central

Don't laugh or I'll kill you

Nationals

tblues2005 · 02-23-11, 11:10 PM

I like the Reds no doubt.

The Brewers aren't trading Prince after the way they bolstered their pitching staff for a run this year.

bokuma · 02-23-11, 11:34 PM

Reds

Gotta go with Votto and Chapman here.

Diamond Hustler · 02-24-11, 12:50 AM

Agree... Reds walk away with it this year I think. Cards losing Wainwright is huge, and Betancourt is making a shitty defense even worse.

wezdaboss · 02-24-11, 01:55 AM

im going wit tha reds also... but go BRAVES!!!

daniele4 · 02-24-11, 02:01 AM

Chapman is a bullpen guy. And who will protect Votto in the line up?
