Elnora Pro Cup Favorite Over Colfax, Fairfax, Rolling Hills
Most of the money is on the Ruthlandian Union this year in the IPA Pro Cup. The oddsmakers are going with the Elnora All-Stars and the Colfax Blasters to take this year's Islands crown. The two Ruthlandian powers shape up as the strongest clubs in the IPA. The Fairfax Frogs and the San Alejo Montaneros are the picks in the Tycobbian Union, but don't look like they can contend with the All-Stars and Blasters. The IPA title is expected to go Elnora, the winner of 105 games this season. According to the baseball prognosticators, the best ballclubs will tangle in the first round. Elnora takes on Colfax in the RU Elite 8 Series, while Fairfax and San Alejo have to go against each other in the TU Elite 8. In the others series it will be LaGrange playing Claxton in the RU and Tuckanarra battling the defending Pro Cup champion Rolling Hills. The Reds have the worst record of any of the postseason clubs at 83-71. But don't count the low-rated teams out. Lower seeds have done well in the Pro Cup down through the seasons.

THE ISLANDIAN TIMES PRO CUP POLL
1. Elnora All-Stars (105-49)... Elnora seems to have it all and is poised to captured its first Pro Cup, only Colfax stands in the way
2. Colfax Blasters (98-56)... Blasters could give the All-Stars a real test... they won 98 games this season with a fine offense
3. Fairfax Frogs (95-59)... best record in the TU... strong offense with good mound staff
4. San Alejo Montaneros (92-62)... pitching staff rated best in the IPA... the Monties can score, too
5. Rolling Hills Reds (83-71)... last year's Pro Cup champ... strong attack, but pitching not up to par this season
6. Tuckanarra Blue Jays (87-68)... experienced playoff team... well-balanced club... hitting may not be good enough to win
7. LaGrange Sports (92-62)... the Cinderella club... could give Elnora and Colfax a run for the money... deserved higher seed
8. Claxton Diamonds (85-69)... won weak division... hits well with average pitching
