As we enter October and the final few regular season games of the 1970 WPK season, the Brewers have a 2 game lead over the 2nd place Phoenix Speed Devils. Both team have 3 home games left. The Brewers have the tougher task facing the 3rd place San Francisco Velocity. Although the Speed Devils take on Detroit, who recently took 2 of 3 from them.
The Brewers magic number is 2 and oddsmakers see them as having a 98.3% chance of winning the MGL. But the team is trying to put that all aside and focus on the task at hand. Which is beating the Velocity. One game at a time.
It looks like the Captain, Abel Pennington, will get the chance to start the opener of the final series. But if he struggles early both Adam Getchell and Steve Green are available to enter early and pitch several innings. Game 2 will likely see Cheol-han Lee start. And if the pennant is still on the line in game 3, Harry Lyerly will likely get the start.
It was also announced that Daniel Torres won the Pitcher of the Month honors in the MGL for September. Daniel has had another wonderful year in Brewers purple at the age of 35 and it is expected that the team will exercise their option for his contract for the 1971 season and bring him back for at least one more season.
