DCR – JAMAICA PLAIN TREASURES (7-20) AT UNIVERSITY POINT DEATHCLAWS (12-15)
WHAT TO KNOW
Both teams are bad and struggling. Rumors are swirling in Jamaica Plain since their owner does not even attend games anymore. University Point can get back in the wildcard race with a sweep.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM JAMAICA PLAIN
Poor pitching and poor batting. The Treasures only have one player hitting over .300 when the league average is around .300. Their ace pitcher has yet to win a game. There is little hope for them not to finish as the worst team in the CBO. At least they can pick next year's best player.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM UNIVERSITY POINT
Surprisingly, the Deathclaws are even worse than Jamaica Plain at scoring runs, but their starting pitcher is much better, meaning the Deathclaws should outscore the Treasures in every game.
KEY PLAYERS IN THE SERIES
JP: See Sea Grass—Right fielder David Seaweed is the one lone bright spot on the team, leading the Triple Crown categories for his team with a .363 batting average, 6 home runs, and 25 RBI. The next best hitter, Carney Cornseed, is batting .287.
UP: Turn up the Jukebox – Deathclaws third hitter Jukebox Luttrell is hitting .339 with 7 home runs and 18 RBI. His batting average and home runs lead the Deathclaws. Should he get hot, University Point will carve up the Treasures pitching.
PREDICTION: Deathclaws sweep unless the Treasures find a way to steal Game 2 or 3.
