Chicago vs Columbus
Not sure the 'bonus' of getting the WC as the #1 seed is paying off. Columbus is the 2nd best team in the IBL. A thundering offense led by 40 homer bats Christian Schall and Jeffrey Hudson. They were the only club to outhomer us in the regular season. Their 'weakness' is their defense, 12th in the FL in efficiency. They rely on homers to score, but their entire lineup works the counts. Same thing, winning vs the other ace in the first of a five gamer is huge, and Thompson is the best pitcher on the field in this series. If Alexander and Morgan can regain the magic our lineup will be unstoppable.
My prediction? Us in 5 in a hard fought series.
