We're about a week into the regular season, and the Cubs and White Sox both have winning records, but which team has a better chance of finishing atop thier division.
I think the Cubs have a better chance, they play in the weakest division in the league, and they'll always have a shot.
I think the White Sox are playing great baseball, but once the Tigers awake from their slumber...look out.

The Tigers won't awake from their slumber. In spring training, it looked like their only obstacle would be avoiding injuries because of their age. Turns out, that's a pretty huge hurdle.
The White Sox' offense is outstanding. They look like the 2006 team that started 59-38. Plus, the bullpen issues of last year seem to be non-issues.
To answer the specific question...the NL Central is pretty awful. That gives to Cubs a better chance to win their division, but not necessarily more games than the White Sox.
