Just a fun little game for baseball prognosticators out there. Also, will the Cubs go to the postseason (as the Wild Card or division champ) and how far?

Over !!! Cubs will win the division. They will play the Phillies for the National League Championship.

I will go with under, but not by much...say 86 or 87, and win the wild card. The team looks fairly good on paper, but there are a lot of question marks. Where do they put Soriano? Why did they pay Jason Marquis, who gives up a lot of home runs, so much money to pitch in the cracker jack box known as Wrigley Field? There is a reason the Cardinals didnt have him on their postseason roster! The most important question is can they stay healthy. Kerry Wood hurt himself getting out of a hot tub earlier in the month. If they stay healthy, I think they can go far, but just like winning is contageous, so is losing.

Defnitely under. Sure Soriano is a great player but you gotta remember these guys almost lost 100 games last year. The only way I can see them having a chance at 90 wins is if Prior and Wood pitched the full season with the dominance they once had. I cant count on those 2 starting 30 games combined.

I believe the Baby Bears will win 88 games this year.This will not be enough to Win the Division.
Everybody keeps saying the NL Central is a weak Div.,well I put it to you the WS rep.in the NL has came from the Central the last 3 years
I think that the NL Central is the class of the NL.
Just as the AL Central is the class of the AL.

I will say just a little under. But I do think that will be enough to advance to the postseason, maybe even a division championship. But the Division Series is as far as they will get.

I think they will win between 80 and 90...but they are in a weak division so I can see them making the playoffs at that. I mean the cards won that divison with only 83 wins last year. The playoffs are always a toss up..ne thing can happen, espeaiclly in a short series. Hopefully this is Baltimore's year to take it. I mean there overdue....havnt won it since '83

Ooh. I'm going with 90 wins, give or take a couple. But in the playoffs, watch out for the NL East and the Padres

Under. They will win 82 games this year. Lack of pitching, and bad defensive outfield will push the Cub out of contention.

Under 90, probably 85 wins
