Putting my neutral hat on here for a minute I’m loving the vague similarities coming through in this save, with the IRL Phils good around this era and obviously making the ’50 Series. And, despite Ashburn not being on this squad, I think they have a solid chance to go one better and actually lock down the club’s second title to go along with the one they won back in 1931.
That said, they are two incredibly even squads with the offence slightly favouring the Red Sox and the pitching, the Phils. I believe a lot of how this pans out will have to do with the sort of Series Williams has. Teddy is slightly more exposed than guys like Ennis and Irvin, and I’m sure the Phils will give him as few opportunities as possible to hurt them.
This should be a purler – Phils in seven for mine.
