Sche0707's Grand Playoff Predictions

AL

Louisville Flying Squirrles vs
Honolulu Erupting Volcanoes

As the records suggest these are two evenly matched teams, but Honolulu's starting pitching is better and I predict a 3-2 series win for Honolulu.

Iowa City Hammerin' Hawkeyes vs New Orleans ferocious fish

Lacking Kris Martin for
New Orleans due to a big injury hurts so I have to pick Don Mecir's Hawkeyes' in a 3-1 series win.

Fargo Red Peppers vs Honolulu Erupting Volcanoes

The extra elite starting pitcher that Fargo has pays off plus Fargo is better offensively but Bernie Hearn picks up one game and Honolulu gets another some where and it's a close series 3-2 Fargo

Seattle Thundering Seapups vs Iowa City Hammerin' Hawkeyes

This would look to be a low scoring series in two pitcher parks which means to me that bullpens are the difference and I see the two as even with a slight edge to Seattle. 3-1 Seattle.

Fargo Red Peppers vs Seattle Thundering Seapups

Sche0707 vs Hatt11 in a battle that has more on the line then just a trip to the WS. On paper Fargo has a better pitching staff and a better lineup. However Seattle was the only team to sweep Fargo during the season which hold a lot of weight in my opinion. 4-3 Seattle. In Game seven Torey Crespo turns in a lack luster preformance of 7 IP 4 ER and a loss.

NL

Baltimore Deep-fried Oreos vs Kansas City Blue Meanies

I think KC is just too good here even without
William McNally. Stuffy Young wins 2 games in a 3-2 series win for KC.

Oklahoma City Frog Armies vs Boise Stuffed Spuds

OKC was laughed at when they boldly predicted a repeat when they seemed out of it in May but after a change in Managers OKC is looking good. With thier strong staff and run surpressing ballpark OKC is hard to beat in the playoffs that's why I see a 3-1 series win in thier furture. Not to take away anything from Mateo Cruz but he isn't enough this time.

Monterrey Fighting Chili vs Kansas City Blue Meanies


Monterrey and KC continue a fight that was waged all season for first in the NL South I see the depth of Monterrey being just too much for KC and they win in 5 games 3-2 Monterrey.

Portland Pious Pugilists vs Oklahoma City Frog Armies

This shapes up to be the mother of all pitching duels with 5 runs scored in 5 games or something like that. Portland has the better staff on a whole but I like OKC's top end starters in matchups if OKC can have it's best matchup against Portlands best. OKC wins in 5 games 3-2.

Monterrey Fighting Chili vs Oklahoma City Frog Armies

OKC's run hits a wall here Monterrey has the offence to beat them and does in a 4-2 series win.

WS

Monterrey Fighting Chili vs Seattle Thundering Seapups

I think that Monterrey has the high end starting pitching that would match up against anyone and a scarcy offence that beats Seattle more than not. The only question in my mind is whether this is a 4-2 or 4-1 series win. I think Hatt's team pulls out 2 games in the end 4-2 Monterrey.
