Predictions: Quantum-Cherry to Battle in Nuka Series
PAM has predicted a Quantum-Cherry Nuka Series, what would be a rematch of the 2000 Series. The Nukalurks are expected to finish tied in the North Bradberton Division with Victory, while the Ghoulrillas are expected to comfortably win the South Bradberton Division by eight games over Orange.
Predicted top finishers in the Top Hitters race are Yorkie Tallsky of Orange, Genius Jerry Kordic of Cherry, Doman Northsea of the Tourists, Swamp Dantin of the Ghoulrillas, and Everlast Barron of Cherry.
