A sleeper series. Tulsa is absolutely poised to make a run at back to back titles, but Houston brings some big time experience and a good offense. Tulsa will score, and score alot if Houston doesn't get outstanding pitching. Likely MVP Curt Whimster leads the Driller offense off of his 57 homer season. As he goes they go. All Stars Rich Alfred and Jamie Vance set up, and protect Whimster. They bring big time SP to the series as well, with 22 game winner George Perkins (going in game 2) and ace Antonio Rodriguez (19-12). The one way I can see Houston stealing this is with Vince Romero (19-8) dominating a game 1 and Cy May and Troy Glaus going nuts. Houston's pen has been a thorn all year, and they come in with former Iron Pig Sib van Bodegraven, their closer, struggling. I'll go with Tulsa in 4.
