I mean, 5 teams that are almost assuredly better in the AL. Conceivable they think the Brewers, Cubs, Diamondbacks, Dodgers are going to be stronger teams over the long haul. I personally think that is a dumb opinion, but it's at least defensible. It is the ESPN power rankings, why y'all so routinely salty about them week to week? If they just listed teams with the best records, there's nothing to talk about.

...it's tough being a Padres fan.
Huh, so fangraphs are predicting that all three NL division leaders are going to play under .500 baseball for the remainder of the season?fwiw, here's fangraphs current projections for the end of the season (today's games aren't counted yet, i don't think)
yankees (103 wins)
astros (102)
red sox (101)
mariners (93)
cubs (92)
indians (90)
dodgers (89)
brewers (87)
nationals (87)
diamondbacks (86)
braves (86)

Braves have 29 games left against the Yankees (2), Red Sox (3), Brewers (7), Dbacks (7), Dodgers (4), and Nationals (6). This is out of 79 games total. Toughest competition up to this point: Nationals (9), Cubs (7), Phillies (9), Red Sox (3). Brewers schedule isn't that hard, but I'm guessing the consensus is everyone still thinks the Brewers suck and got lucky, so the Cubs will overtake them. Ditto for the Dbacks vs Dodgers. And people still overrating the Nationals like crazy, I am going to be shocked if the Nationals get 85 wins. I don't think anything sets them apart from the Cardinals, Phillies, or even the Pirates. I guess their pitching, but their hitting sucks. I'd peg the Nationals closer to 82 wins and the Braves at 90+ wins.
The narrative with the NL Central is that the Brewers are beating up on weak teams and the Cubs are under achieving. I just have to wonder how long you have to under achieve before you're no longer under achieving and that's just who you are.Braves have 29 games left against the Yankees (2), Red Sox (3), Brewers (7), Dbacks (7), Dodgers (4), and Nationals (6).

I also bet a lot of people are, rightfully, remembering the Brewer's somewhat recent history where they tend to look really good in the first half of the year and then after the All-Star break they become a different team who falls apart
yeah i see why people still keeping waiting for the cubs to show up. plus, as a brewer fan, it seems like the brewers look at their jerseys every all star break and go "oh wait, we're milwaukee" and decide to suck againi don't know, but it's definitely longer than 80 games. the brewers could win the division this year, and barring big offseason moves, would still not be the favorites going into next season. it's not an insult to the brewers, the cubs just have way more talent on the roster. there isn't really any narrative other than that. nobody is saying the brewers are incapable of winning the division, just that it's obvious why the cubs are the better bet.

Kemp is back home8-8 his past 8 at bats. Who could have predicted Kemp would have a resurgence this good? I honestly thought the Dodgers were going to use as trade bait.
