The four divisions of the CCBL are modelled off the four divisions of the Cape. The Western League has the regions of the Low Cape and Mid-Cape while the Eastern League has the Upper Cape and the Outer Cape.

Lower Cape Division

The Lower Cape is the beginning of the area, holding important towns such as Bourne, Falmouth, Mashpee and Sandwich. The Lower Cape Division will be a tight race between the Bourne Atlantics and the defending champions, the Falmouth Tides. This entire division will be very talented, as when the Western League split, most of the better teams went to this division. Sandwich and Mashpee also had 85-90 win seasons each and have the talent to compete. This division will be the most talented in the CCBL.

Mid-Cape Division

The Mid-Cape consists of two pairs of towns that tend to be associated with each other, Hyannis with Barnstable and Yarmouth with Dennis. The actual CCBL team is called the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox, combining both towns but I wanted them to each have a team in this league. Based off last year, Hyannis has to be the favorites as they were the only team of the four to finish with a record above .500, going 89-73. Yarmouth and Barnstable could be better as they are younger teams on the rise, while Dennis is rebuilding after a 103 loss season.

Western League Prediction: Hyannis Hawks vs Falmouth Tides


Upper Cape Division

The Upper Cape is the area before the peninsula moves north, and has some very memorable towns like Harwich, Brewster, Orleans and Chatham. The defending Eastern League champion Harwich should be the absolute favorite here as they have the best player in the entire league in Javier Orellana and have a ridiculously talented squad. (If this league were real, I would definitely be a massive Harwich fan, as this is the town where I spent most of my time on the Cape) Orleans was only three games off of tying Harwich and will look to avenge their losses but I still think the Anglers are the best team in baseball right now. Chatham will look to bounce back from a lackluster 76-86 season while Brewster looks to be in a full rebuild after losing 95 games in 2030.


Outer Cape Division

The Outer Cape is the northernmost area of the peninsula, which is right off the Atlantic. All four of the towns represented have some of the best beaches in the entire East Coast, being right on the beautiful National Seashore. This division will be a bloodbath as there is no real favorite. Wellfleet had the best season last year of the four, but only won 79 games as Provincetown and Truro won 75 and 74. Eastham seems to be the odd one out, as they look to be in full rebuild and don’t expect to compete. This division could end in a three-way tie for all I know, but it will be hard for whoever wins this to get past Harwich or Orleans in the playoffs. Looking at the teams, I’d predict P-Town right now but that could easily change each week. Our Blue Sox don’t have to really go up against a true titan for the division, but all three of these teams look to be at another level above Eastham.
