So far, the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals have not been able to find consistency. The two National League Central rivals are struggling to reach the .500 mark. At the onset of the season Chicago was a popular brand for the future market baseball betting odds. The Cubs hired manager Greg Counsell away from his hometown Milwaukee Brewers. Counsell is among the elite class of managers in baseball. So far, the results are lacking. Meanwhile, the Cardinals are a perennial contender struggling to maintain that status. St. Louis could miss the playoffs for the second straight season.
