<![CDATA[People like to dismiss the NL Central all of the time BUT...]]>As of this morning they are the only division where all 5 teams are over .500,

The 1st place teams (The Pirates and Reds) at 12-8 and are only a game and a half ahead of the last place team (The Cubs) at 10-9.

Pirates 12-8
Reds 12-8
Cardinals 11-8
Brewers 11-8
Cubs 10-9

I don't expect it to stay that way all season but it has been interesting so far.

Right now the cubs have had 3 straight games with 10+ runs
nico hoerner is also playing like an MVP

Can't count that, 2 of those are against the 1 inning Phils who are still in spring training mode and haven't made it to the regular season mindset yet.

@Dolenz_PSN To be fair, they are playing more games against each other’s [censored] teams.

Not Necessarily true. If they were all just playing each other then somebody would have a losing record. Now I am not saying the division is a powerhouse by any stretch. Just an interesting early anomaly.

BTW, the Cardinals have played

Rays
Mets
Tigers
Nationals
Red Sox
Guardians
Astros

Not a single game against their division opponents yet. Their first game against a division rival is not until the 27th. I don't know bout the other 4 teams schedules.
