State of the NL Central: September 4

As we enter the final month of the regular season, now is the time for teams to stake their claim on a playoff berth. The Cubs remain strong in their number one place in the Central, but it looks like both the Brewers and Cardinals are hungry, and hunting for a wild card spot.

The next few weeks are going to be a tooth and nail fight to the finish for the top three teams in the division.

Chicago Cubs 81-56

Weeks like these are the reason the Cubs seem firmly planted at number one, and are unlikely to budge any time soon.
