On top of that, Kris Bryant is hot and his ISO is back up to where it was during his 7.8 WAR season in 2016. Of course, relative to league average, it probably isn't as good, but I'm sure Cubs fans aren't complaining. Could be a helluva race between the Cardinals, Cubs and Brewers. Anyone who thinks those teams won't be in the market for additions is crazy. It's unlikely any one team will pull away.

Agreed - NL Central is going to be a dogfight. Cubs have a huge (+50) run differential, with league average strength of schedule. Brewers and Cards are currently #1 and #2 respectively in SOS. They're likely to pick up a few games as the schedule evens out (although I'm still suspicious of the non-Yelich portion of the MIL offense).
