Hometown Season 29
Division Championship Series Preview

#1 Dover vs. #5 Buffalo

Offense: Dover – first team to score over 1,000 runs since Toronto Season 23.

Pitching:  Dover – They have JJ and a stronger starting staff.

Defense: Push – No one that really stands out besides Easley at 2B.

Outlook: Dover wins in 5.

#2 Toronto vs. #6 Montreal

Offense: Toronto – MVP favorite Albert Diaz has Toronto running on all cylinders

Pitching: Toronto – Riccardi for Cy Young? Nope, a distant 2^nd.

Defense: Toronto – Best +/- plays in all of Hometown

Outlook: Toronto wins in 4.

#1 Madison vs. #5 Scranton

Offense: Madison – over 100+ more runs scored than #2 Scranton.

Pitching: Push – 2^nd and 3^rd ERA in NL. MAD struck out more batters, SWB walked fewer

Defense: Madison – 2 GGs up the middle

Outlook: Madison wins in 5.

#2 Pawtucket vs. #6 Huntington

Offense: Push – similar numbers, similar MVP candidates

Pitching: Pawtucket – allowed more than .5 runs less than Huntington

Defense: Push – more + plays for PAW, but HUN threw out over 40% would-be base stealers

Outlook: Pawtucket wins in 4. Pitching is too good.
