Edits underneath in CAPS!
AL First Round
Tampa Bay vs Burlington
The pitching matches up well in this series. Expect offense to make the difference. Tampa won 7 of 10 off of Burlington during the season and has a stronger offense overall this season. However, the big trade for Taft and Palacios made the Burlington offense better as the second half unfolded. We are calling it Tampa but would not be shocked if an mini upset occured. It does seem odd to call the WC team the favorite but Burlington has not been great at home.
TAMPA LEADS 2-1 LOOKING TO CLOSE OUT
BIG COMEBACK FOR BURLINGTON AS THEY WIN THE LAST 2 TO STEAL THIS ONE.
Boise vs Syracuse
The division rivals face off in this round. Syracuse got hot and closed the season strong. Boise had the freedom to rest some starters and prepare for the playoffs. This is another series where the pitching is pretty well matched. Boise scores a lot of runs and that should tip the scales to the Spuds.
BOISE SWEEPS BEHIND RUSS BORLANDS 4 HOME RUNS IN 3 GAMES!
NL First Round
Tacoma vs Jacksonville
Tough one to call. Both teams score runs about the same. Tacoma is the stronger pithcing team, they led the NL in ERA this season. Jacksonville is a great road team and Tacoma is a great home team. This is a fun matchup and we see it going 5 games. Tacoma and pitching probably wins the day and moves on.
A TOUGH ONE LIKE PREDICTED Jax LEADS 2-1!
ANOTHER BIG SERIES and JACKSONVILLE TAKES GAME 5 TO MOVE ON.
Arizona vs Vancouver
Another good matchup. They both hit well and play excellent defense. Arizona closed the season with a good run and will be tough to beat. Vancouver was steady all year. 18 game winner Harry Osborne will need to be the difference for Vancouver. We pick them to move on to the next round.
VANCOUVER LEADS AS PREDICTED, ARIZONA ISN'T DONE YET THOUGH!
VANCOUVER DOES MOVE ON.
