5 PENNANT WINNERS FAVORED TO REPEAT IN IPA
In general, the good teams will be good in the IPA and the bad teams will be bad. Five of the division winners from last year are favored to win again this year. White River is forecast to win the Tycobbian Union with Valmara winning the Ruthlandian crown and also taking the Pro Cup for the overall Islands' baseball supremacy. The Rolling Hills Reds whipped the Claxton Diamonds in last year's Pro Cup Finals.

Defending Ruthlandian division champions, Valmara, Sugar Valley and Forest City, are this year's choices to win again. Waleska was given the nod in the Ruthlandian South in a very tight race with last year's winner Claxton. The Westerners tied for third last year.

Valmara is expected to run away with the RU North again with no real challenger. Sugar Valley will be tested by Belle Plaine and Marston in the RU East and in the RU West it will be a three-team battle royal between last year's champ and this year's favorite Forest City, Rocky Rapids and Middlefield. Any one of the trio could win it.

Rolling Hills and White River are expected to repeat in the Tycobbian Union with Hillsboro and San Alejo picked to be the best in the other two divisions. The Blazers wound up sixth in 2048 and the Montaneros came in third. Last year's TU East champ High Mesa was named the third-best team this season in the preseason poll. Tuckanarra is rated the second-best club in the division with South Fork and Midway not too far behind them in fourth and fifth places. Turon will give San Alejo the toughest time in the TU South with defending titleholder Southport and Cape Coral in the chase, but not very close. The oddsmakers ranked the Sun Sox third in the division and the Hurricanes fourth.
