It's official, the Karana Storms are our Division Series opponent. This will be a difficult matchup because all of our left hand platoon players had reverse splits this season.
…....................... LHP RHP
Roy Campanella .219 .290
Joe DiMaggio..... .230 .292
Willie Mays...….. .235 .265 5 HR all against righties.
Cal Ripken...….. .277 .279
Ichiro Suzuki..... .317 .304 OK, slugging was better against righties by .009 points.

Also, Cristobal Torriente who made the most of his first crack at full time play since 2039 by winning the batting title (.373) will be available only to pinch hit. Team HR leader Ken Griffey will also be riding the pine. Ty Cobb also likely to be a no show. Yogi Berra will get the nod at catcher, (better defense and .311 against lefties) but otherwise we'll play the percentages with the rest.

Unbelievably, Cy Young was tagged with 10 of the Magpies' 34 defeats, still gets the nod as Game 1 starter because he has the best record against LHB (by far) and we'll be facing plenty of those. Both ball parks favor LHB and many of our LHB won't be playing as noted above.
