Vegas recently released their MLB betting odds for the 2023 National League Central division winners with the St. Louis Cardinals as frontrunners at -130 odds, followed by the Milwaukee Brewers (+170), Chicago Cubs (+600), Cincinnati Reds (+6500) and Pittsburgh Pirates (+9000).

If you think that the Cubs have a shot of winning the division and want to put some cash on it, there are places to place online bets on sports, including at The Punters Page.

The Chicago Cubs have been playing some solid baseball in the first few weeks of spring training, so this third-place prediction via sportsbooks comes as somewhat of a surprise.

The Northsiders' 10-6 record is tied with the Los Angeles Dodgers with the most wins in the National League. However, spring training wins unfortunately don't always translate to regular season wins.

The Cubs' odds are fairly low for a team that has added several new pieces in Trey Manini, Cody Bellinger, Dansby Swanson, Eric Hosmer, Jameson Taillon, Michael Fulmer, Brad Boxberger, and more. This is an improving team and could get on a roll and play much more than expected.

It should be fun to watch it all unfold as we get closer and closer to the start of the 2023 regular season. We will have 24/7 coverage all season long on CubsHQ.com.
