Dover will have home field advantage, so games 1,2, 6 and 7 will be in Dover. Dover held their own versus the Colonials this season, willing 10 of 16...

Key Injuries:
Dover:
Claude Bond (3B) : .284-6-52 (6 days)
Andy Kohl (C) : .308-47-128 (1 day)
(I looked at their playoff roster and Kohl has not been added, playoffs start today, would be surprised if the leave him off completely)

New Castle:
Peter Peters (RF) : .299-34-72 (out for season)

If Kohl doesn't get added to the roster, then they teams will both be down their best hitters, and maybe it will even things out. With Peters not in the lineup New Castle is a different, less feared team. May Hollis the New Castle ace struggled against the Generals this year (0-2 3.33), which makes me believe all things point to Dover.

Dover comes in slumping however winning 4 over their last 10.
New Castle not much better, but they have won 6 of their last 10.

This is Dover's 4th playoff appearance (2014, 2016, 2017, 2018), and they have won the Conference title 1 time. New Castle is making the playoffs for the 2nd time (2016, 2018), and they won the Conference in 2016, beating Dover.

Dover is out for revenge for that 2016 defeat, and with Peters is out, my prediction is Dover in 5.
