LAS VEGAS — With an 11th consecutive victory on July 21, the Brewers passed the Cubs to take sole possession of first in the National League Central.

For the first time all season, a Wrigley Field worker situated Milwaukee’s blue-and-yellow-lettered flag atop the center-field division-standings pole.

And yet, bettors could have snatched a nifty plus price on the Brewers winning the very division they now led.

At BetMGM, patrons could have secured +165 odds, or risk $100 to win $165, on Milwaukee winning the Central, the Cubs at -220. DraftKings had the Cubs -180, the Brewers +135.
