The Other Conference
Over in the Delaware Conference the Dover Generals will take on the Wilmington Iron Pigs. The Iron Pigs return to the playoffs after missing out last year, and will take on the Generals who won their division in 2014 and 2016. This year the Generals warmed up and ran down the disappointing Georgetown Sixteens... Going into this series both teams are playing well and both teams are missing a starter. Dover though is missing their ace, Jerry Copeland (16-9 3.17), who was shut down a week ago.
Both these teams are pretty evenly matched, but I am going to go with the Iron Pigs. With the loss of Copeland the pitching will favor Wilmington, plus I have a hard time betting against any team that has a pitcher like Marcos Estrada on their roster.
My prediction: Wilmington in 6
