League championship series
- I have zero expectations of anything resembling the Alaska series. Ohio is the only team in the game that outhit and outscored us (979-970). Our decided advantage is on the mound. Pollock beat them 2 times in 3 starts (2-0 3.92) and Mike Rose beat us twice in two starts (2-0 1.26).
- As expected Sergio Robles was a beast hitting .351-2-7. Their offense as a whole hit 19 homers vs our 16. Guiomar Cortezo hit .370-4-9 vs General pitching. Ohio has made 11 trips to the playoffs winning their only title in 2008. They are trying to make it back to the series for a record-tying 6th time. I'll be stunned if this goes less than 6. If it does go less I don't think it'll be us moving on. They are just too damn deep on offense.
- In the NL Pittsburgh looks to win their 2nd title while the Jets are looking for their 1st. Pittsburgh is also seeking a record 6th series appearance and the Jets are looking for their 3rd. Pittsburgh owned the Jets this season winning 8 of 12 games. Pittsburgh's top-ranked staff will be trying to stop the NL's 2nd ranked offense. The Jets were 1 game better in winning the NL East with a +165 run differential to the Miners +117
