Major flaws

Cardinals: Bullpen and to a lesser degree, starting pitching
Pirates: Hitters not named McCutchen
Reds: Leadoff and/or cleanup hitter, bench.
 
So what troll voted other? Anyway, I'm expecting a very tight race the rest of the season. It'll all depend on if someone can get an early hot streak going so they can get some space from the other two teams. Trade deadline moves will also be a factor.

Most of the team's batting averages are on the weaker side because of how they started the season. Since the beginning of June, though, I don't think any in the NL are hitting better or scoring more than the Pirates, statistically.

Their weaknesses are: Base stealers, Clint Barmes, Erik Bedard, and Kevin Correia.

They need to find at least one more pitcher for the rotation, IMO. Bedard is just bad.
 
Am I a bad fan if winning the Central isn't good enough in my mind? I want to see the reds at least make the NLCS.. now if they one the NLCS I would lose my mind with excitement.. The Reds just being in the World Series would make me happier than anything else in sports.
 
Gotta go with the Reds, but it will be close with the Cards...don't think the Bucs can continue their winning ways through the remainder of the season.
