Arguably the biggest highlight of the division and one of the biggest highlights in league history was the Chicago Cubs breaking the curse and ending the 108-year championship drought in 2016. Other than that, the NL Central has been mostly quiet in the past 20 seasons, with just the St. Louis Cardinals making some noise with three NL pennants and one World Series title from 2004-2013. The Milwaukee Brewers are the defending division champs, while the Cincinnati Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates have yet to really make a dent as proud representatives of the NL Central.

NL Central History

  • Cubs logoChicago Cubs

    After finishing fourth in the NL Central in 2021, the Cubs were hoping to the postseason. However, things have not gone as planned and the Cubs found themselves in fourth place and more than 20 games under .500 at the All-Star break.

    • Division Titles: 8
    • League Pennants: 17
    • World Series Titles: 3

  • Reds logoCincinnati Reds

    The Reds dealt away a lot of their talent from last year. Nick Castellanos, Jesse Winker and various pitchers were either traded or allowed to walk. The arrival of Hunter Greene serves as a beam of hope for a franchise facing an otherwise bleak outlook.

    • Division Titles: 10
    • League Pennants: 9
    • World Series Titles: 5

  • Brewers logo Milwaukee Brewers

    The reigning NL Central champions finished 95-67 last year and lost in the NLDS. Their pitching is what keeps them so competitive, most notably reigning Cy Young award winner Corbin Burnes. The Brewers also have closer Josh Hader to assist in closing out games.

    • Division Titles: 5
    • League Pennants: 1
    • World Series Titles: 0
  • Pirates logoPittsburgh Pirates

    After finishing last in the NL Central last year, PIttsburgh was not expected to compete for a playoff spot in 2022. However, the organization did extend Ke'Bryan Hayes for eight years and the arrival of Oneil Cruz has provided a jolt and given fans hope of a brighter future.

    • Division Titles: 9
    • League Pennants: 9
    • World Series Titles: 5

  • Cardinals logoSt. Louis Cardinals

    The Cardinals are currently the second favorite to win the NL Central and for good reason. They arguably have the best roster in the NL Central and Adam Wainwright, Yadier Molina and Albert Pujols certainly provide the veteran leadership and experience necessary for the stretch run. The Cardinals finished 90-72 last season, second in the NL Central.

    • Division Titles: 14
    • League Pennants: 19
    • World Series Titles: 11
