NL Central Intelligence: A Look Around the Division for the Week of July 1

The All-Star votes are counted and the teams will be announced tomorrow. Meanwhile, things in the regular season seem to be status quo. Here we go with a look at the Central.

Milwaukee Brewers

  • Much like last year at this time, the Brewers are in first place, though the lead is not as much as it was. After a 5-2 week, the Crew sits at 53-36, 1.5 games up on the second-place Cubs.
  • Freddy Peralta looks like the real deal. In six starts, the 22-year-old rookie has posted a 2.14 ERA with 46 strikeouts in 33.
