What to expect in 2026?
Chicago enters 2026 with legitimate NL Central upside after a 92 win season and a Division Series appearance. The front office stayed aggressive, adding Alex Bregman to anchor the infield and acquiring Edward Cabrera to deepen the rotation. Even after losing a key bat, the lineup still profiles as above average, especially with additional offensive reinforcements.
From a betting perspective, this division is wide open and arguably the softest in baseball. If the market implies Chicago needs roughly a 40 percent shot to justify the price, internal projections closer to the high 40s create value. Milwaukee outpaced expectations last year and may regress, making the Cubs a sharp play in division futures if pitching holds steady.
