At the onset of the season, the Cubs were written off for dead. Chicago held an offseason fire sale to cut the budget. Fans and gamblers deserted the Cubs in droves. But not anymore. Chicago is fighting for the National League Central lead with Milwaukee. Supplementing that success is timely hitting and a superb bullpen. New York is just as surprised with the baseball betting odds. On the whole, the Mets own one of the best pitching staffs in the game. New York leads the National League East with that advantage on the hill.
