The Chiefs split the 4 games last week to finish with a club record 101 wins. Since the all-star break, Chicago has the best record in baseball at 52-22 (.703).
The World's Championship Series will begin Wednesday afternoon in Brooklyn. The series should be an intriguing one, as it matches Chicago's league-best pitching staff against Brooklyn's league-best offense.
Game 1 will see Chicago's
Rabbit Day (25-3, 2.41) take the mound against Brooklyn's
Tom Barrell (21-6, 3.41). It should be a classic pitching match-up. Day won the "pitching triple crown" in the Fed and is the likely Allen Award winner. Barrell is also the front runner to win the award in the Continental; it would be Barrell's 3rd consecutive Allen Award.
The probable pitchers for game 2 are Chicago's
Al Miller (21-8, 2.87) and Brooklyn's
Mike Murphy (17-8, 3.07). The 21-year-old Miller had one of the better rookie seasons in recent memory. It should be another good pitching match-up--Murphy led the CA in ERA, while Miller was 2nd in ERA to team mate Day.
