    Odds to win National League Central: Brewers the team to beat

    The Central Division has had three different champions in the past three years, which doesn’t bode well for the Cincinnati Reds – the defending NL Central champs.

    The St. Louis Cardinals chances took a hit before the first pitch of an exhibition game was thrown. The Milwaukee Brewers addressed their most important need, starting pitching, during the offseason and they are convinced they’ll make a serious run in the Central Division.

    The Chicago Cubs believe they are a dark horse, yet they’re having a difficult time finding believers outside of those drinking the blue and red Kool-aid. Houston has the weakest infield in the National League, which takes the Astros out of contention. For those who dislike change, the Pittsburgh Pirates make the world a safer place.

    Chicago Cubs

    Last season record
    : 75-87
    Projected season win total: O/U 82.5
    Odds to win division: +400

    Biggest impact loss: OF Xavier Nady
    Biggest impact addition: 1B Carlos Pena, RHP Matt Garza

    Cubs Outlook: As has been the case since 1909, “Wait till next year” has arrived on the North Side of Chicago. Long-time baseball man Mike Quade convinced Cubs management he’s the right individual to make Chicago a division contender in 2011, after a 24-13 close in a trial run last year. Quade’s approach worked for a team not facing pressure, but the real test begins starting with a new right side of the infield and an aging lineup that used to bludgeon opponents five years ago.

    First baseman Carlos Pena has to make more contact after batting .196 and which Aramis Ramirez will show up this season - the one who batted .207 before All-Star break or the one who hit .276 (15 home runs) after it? Shortstop Starlin Castro is fun to watch.

    Chicago used to have dominant rotation, but this is no longer the case with the Cubs having a collection of No. 3 or No. 4 starters with Carlos Zambrano, Ryan Dempster, Matt Garza and others. Carlos Marmol is the single-most dominate reliever in baseball. It just isn’t pitch after pitch and he often has to bail himself out.

    Season win total pick: Over 82.5



    Cincinnati Reds


    Last season record: 91-71
    Projected season win total: O/U 85.5
    Odds to win division: +220

    Biggest impact loss: LHR Arthur Rhodes
    Biggest impact addition: SS Edgar Renteria

    Reds Outlook: After their first division crown in 15 years, Cincinnati did what any conservative poker player would do with a good hand and checked this offseason. The Reds front office think they have the right mix of veterans and youngsters and, like San Francisco, hopes their young pitching talent can put it all together at once.

    Cincy features a potent lineup that led the senior circuit in runs scored (4.87 per game) and home runs (188). National League MVP Joey Votto had an OPS of 1.024 last season and is complimented by 2B Brandon Phillips, RF Jay Bruce and 3B Scott Rolen. A Cactus League scout I spoke to said, “The Reds need good backup for Rolen, whose age and injuries are catching up with him. At 120 games max (Rolen) can still produce.”

    Here is a nice problem to have: Homer Bailey (24 years old), Travis Wood (24), Mike Leake (23) and Aroldis “Cuban Missile” Chapman (23) are vying for two starting spots along with Edinson Volquez, Bronson Arroyo and Johnny Cueto.

    Season win total pick: Over 85.5



    Houston Astros


    Last season record: 76-86
    Projected season win total: O/U 72
    Odds to win division: +3,500

    Biggest loss: 1B Geoff Blum
    Biggest addition: 2B Bill Hall

    Astros Outlook: Owner Drayton McLane long neglected Houston’s player development, trying to chase a World Series title since 1994, and that lack of attention will again keep the Astros below .500 for a third straight year. Take any team in the National League and compare their infield to Houston’s. This is how the Astros will probably start the year: 1B Brett Wallace, 2B Bill Hall, SS Clint Barmes and 3B Chris Johnson.

    Hunter Pence is the closest player to an All-Star on the roster with a solid career batting average and at least 25 dingers three seasons running. Center fielder Michael Bourn is a two-time Gold Glove winner and can steal any base but first. Carlos Lee is in decline as hitter, which is bad news because of his fielding liabilities.

    Brett Myers is off a career season, but with weak offense and defense, matching 14 victories and 3.14 ERA will be a challenge. Left hander Wandy Rodriguez and Bud Norris were effective in the second half and each will need to start quicker in 2011.

    Season win total pick: Over 72



    Milwaukee Brewers


    Last season record: 77-85
    Projected season win total: O/U 86.5
    Odds to win: +140

    Biggest loss: SS Alcides Escobar
    Biggest addition: RHP Zack Greinke, RHP Shaun Marcum

    Brewers Outlook: Milwaukee has often featured its fair share of sluggers, like Hall of Famers Robin Yount and Paul Molitor, along with Gorman Thomas from the Bambi’s Bombers and Harvey Wallbanger’s days, to the current crop with Ryan Braun, Prince Fielder, Casey McGehee and Corey Hart. However, the best Brewers teams always had quality starting pitching and this club might be throwing a beer bash at the end of the regular season.

    Offseason acquisitions of Zack Greinke and Shaun Marcum are the perfect complement to ace Yovani Gallardo and fourth starter Randy Wolf. Greinke is well known for his talent and “different” personality and claims he’s recharged playing for contender. Marcum had 3.64 ERA last season pitching in rugged AL East. Gallardo was 14-7 and second in punch-outs per nine innings (9.7).

    It’s a foregone conclusion Milwaukee will hit and score runs, nevertheless the biggest trend in baseball is run prevention, which means CF Carlos Gomez, middle infielders Rickie Weeks and Yuniesky Betancourt have to be tight for new manager Ron Roenicke.

    Season win total pick: Over 86.5



    Pittsburgh Pirates


    Last season record: 57-105
    Projected season win total: O/U 67.5
    Odds to win division: +10,000

    Biggest loss: OF Lastings Miledge, RHP Zach Duke
    Biggest addition: RHR Kevin Correia, 1B Lyle Overbay

    Pirates Outlook: If this was a real world business, the Pittsburgh franchise would have gone out of business a long time ago after 18 consecutive losing seasons. The Pirates were everyone’s favorite visitor a year ago with only 17 road victories, which tied the 1962 New York Mets for worst all-time road record since the 162-game schedule was indoctrinated.

    The glimmer of hope for Bucs fans is a descent nucleus of young talent led by CF Andrew McCutchen. The foundation of the future also includes 3B Pedro Alverez, 2B Neil Walker and LF Jose Tabata. Lyle Overbay brings above average leather at first and a doubles bat.

    The pitching is a completely different matter. The Pittsburgh hurlers had ERA of 5.00 in 2010. For non-sabermetrics baseball bettors, the simple methodology is that the Pirates, on average, had to score six runs a game to win. Pittsburgh lacks a No. 1, 2 or 3 starter and will fill those rolls by default. When the Bucs are in position to snatch victory, closer Joel Hanrahan has mid-90’s heat and a knee-buckling slider.

    Season win total pick: Under 67.5



    St. Louis Cardinals


    Last season record: 86-76
    Projected season win total: O/U 82.5
    Odds to win division: +400

    Biggest loss: 3B Pedro Feliz, RHP Adam Wainwright
    Biggest addition: SS Ryan Theriot

    Cards Outlook: The St. Louis Cardinals’ World Series odds swelled even before the first pitch was thrown in spring training, with the Adam Wainwright scheduled for Tommy John surgery. The day it was announced the right hander was gone for the year, their odds shifted from +1,400 to +2,000 and they’re still climbing. Manager Tony LaRussa should have some time to find a replacement based on the early schedule, which only shows 12 of first 38 games against teams that were over .500 a year ago.

    Kyle McClellan is the early favorite to take Wainwright’s spot in the rotation, with others possible to emerge. This places significant pressure on Chris Carpenter to win each time out and the other starters, like Jake Westbrook, Jaime Garcia and Kyle Lohse, to be more effective.

    The Redbirds have the players to score runs in bunches led by Albert Pujols and Matt Holliday, however, the defensive range of this club is similar to Milwaukee. Not a positive sign.

      Odds to win NL West: Can Giants make magic again?

      For the first time since 2001, the defending World Series champion is from the National League West.

      Much like the Diamondbacks with Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling, the San Francisco Giants dominated with spectacular pitching and just enough offense.

      The Giants won’t have an easy time holding off Colorado, which has a better offense and a deep starting staff. The Los Angeles Dodgers have made changes in the dugout and on the field and need Matt Kemp to mature. It was a magical 2010 for San Diego, but does anyone really expect the Padres to duplicate 90 wins without Adrian Gonzalez? Arizona was 27-45 against division foes last year and has a weaker pitching staff.

      Here’s an inside look at the odds to win the NL West and their season win totals:

      Arizona Diamondbacks

      Last season’s record
      : 65-97
      Projected season win total at: O/U 72.5
      Odds to win NL West: +2,227

      Biggest impact loss: 3B Mark Reynolds, 1B Adam LaRoche
      Biggest impact addition: OF Xavier Nady, RHR – J.J. Putz

      Diamondbacks outlook: Kevin Towers was brought in as general manager to clean up the mess no one saw coming in Arizona. In 2007, a young nucleus of players that had come up through the farm system and blossomed, winning the division with 90-72 record. Nobody at that time would have imagined that would have been the high-water mark.

      Towers first order of business was to overhaul the bullpen, which was the third worst in Major League history with 5.74 ERA. He’s hoping closer J.J. Putz can regain the form he had in Seattle. David Hernandez and Juan Gutierrez are being counted on as set-up men. Skipper Kirk Gibson will have hands full with arguably the worst starting staff in the National League.

      The everyday lineup has potential with CF Chris Young and SS Stephen Drew. Both are capable of extra bases hits and strikeouts. Justin Upton doesn’t turn 24 years old until late August and has the fifth-highest on-base + slugging percentage (.824) in 40 years for a player 23 or younger with 1,500 at-bats.

      Season win total pick: Over 72.5

      Colorado Rockies


      Last season record: 83-79
      Projected season win total: O/U 86
      Odds to win NL West: +201

      Biggest impact loss: 2B Clint Barmes
      Biggest addition: IN/OF Ty Wigginton, RHR Matt Lindstrom

      Rockies outlook: Colorado’s starting pitching isn’t as strong as San Francisco’s, yet it looks to have the components to keep the Rockies in the NL West race all season. Ubaldo Jimenez was unhittable his first 14 starts a year ago, with a 13-1 record and 1.15 ERA. National League scouts love his ability and mental makeup, but wonder about his complicated delivery. Behind him are Jorge De La Rosa and 23-year-old Jhoulys Chacin. The real key will be the health and reliability of Aaron Cook and Jason Hammel to fill out rotation.

      Acquiring reliever Matt Lindstrom was a shrewd move but could pay off if more issues develop for closer Huston Street and he should fit nicely with Rafael Betancourt in the late innings.

      Colorado was third in the National League in runs scored and with Troy Tulowitzki, Carlos Gonzalez, Todd Helton and Ian Stewart, the Rockies lineup could be the top-scoring bunch in the NL. Newcomer Ty Wigginton gives manager Jim Tracy more flexibility against tough left handers.

      Season win total pick: Over 86



      Los Angeles Dodgers


      Last season record: 80-82
      Projected season win total: O/U 84
      Odds to win NL West: +350

      Biggest impact loss: Joe Torre, C Russell Martin
      Biggest impact addition: RHP Jon Garland, RHR Matt Guerrier

      Dodgers Outlook: The Dodgers are the biggest wildcard in the division. After winning 95 games in 2009, Los Angeles slumped badly and finished a dismal fourth last year. Manny Ramirez was a clubhouse distraction and Matt Kemp became a malcontent. More than one player had an off year and Joe Torre was unable to communicate effectively with his club. Will new manager Don Mattingly be able to lead and not make silly gaffes like last season?

      General manager Ned Colletti didn’t sit still, signing 10 free agents. Though most are mid-range talent wise, they do address the Dodgers’ needs. Adding P Jon Garland gives L.A. six legitimate starters, something that was lacking a season ago, along with Chad Billingsley, Clayton Kershaw and Ted Lilly specifically. This helps the boys in blue in a division that is all about pitching and defense.

      This is crucial year for Kemp, who had an Andruw Jones-sized drop off last season. Kemp is a plus or minus on offense, as Andre Either, James Loney and Casey Blake will put up usual numbers.

      Season win total pick: Over 84



      San Diego Padres


      Last season record: 90-72
      Projected season win total: O/U 76
      Odds to win NL West: +1,266

      Biggest impact loss: 1B Adrian Gonzalez
      Biggest impact addition: OF Cameron Maybin, 1B Brad Hawpe

      Padres Outlook: San Diego led the NL West for 148 days before faltering, leaving plenty of gaping jaws on the West Coast. An even bigger shocker would be if the Padres come anywhere close to last year’s win total.

      The loss of Adrian Gonzalez leaves a chasm in the batting order and the pickups of Brad Hawpe, Jason Bartlett and Orlando Hudson don’t figure to have much impact on offense. Last year’s second-best pitching staff (3.39 ERA) has changed - and not for the better. Jon Garland is gone and though Mat Latos has No. 1 starter stuff, he’s given the role by default. After Clayton Richard, the rest of the starting five is a moving target.

      Last year’s biggest strength, the Padres bullpen, has witnessed defections, though setup men Luke Gregerson and Mike Adams still remain along with closer Heath Bell. But will the Padres be competitive enough to give these arms a chance to shine in the late innings?

      Season win total pick: Under 76



      San Francisco Giants


      Last season record: 92-70
      Projected season win total: O/U 88
      Odds to win NL West: +138

      Biggest impact loss: SS Juan Uribe
      Biggest impact addition: SS Miguel Tejada

      Giants Outlook: The starting staff has two-time Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum, along with other young pitchers like Matt Cain, Jonathan Sanchez and Madison Bumgarner, which gives San Fran backers the belief that they can be perennial National League contender. San Francisco was not dependent on its starting pitching alone, having a bullpen that helped them have a MLB-low ERA of 3.36 and held opposing batters to just .236 BA. Brian “the beard” Wilson returns as closer.

      Offensively, the Giants were only average, ranking ninth in the senior circuit at 4.3 runs per contest. Beyond catcher Buster Posey and 3B Pablo Sandoval, are a slew of journeyman players. San Francisco is projected to be NL West champion again, but let’s not forget the Giants were 6.5 games behind San Diego on August 26. The Giants closed 21-13 and Padres fell into the Pacific Ocean with 14-23 mark in their last 37 tries.

      It will be interesting to see how the young pitchers come back from all those extra postseason innings, as well as if the Giants’ everyday guys can come through in the clutch like they did in October.
