Vancouver Mounties (87-75, .537, 2nd AL West) @ Los Angeles Leopards (106-56, .654, 1st NL West)
With a solid, 5th ranked offense, and a solid, identically ranked pitching corps, Vancouver’s a tough out for anyone – add in the fact that they just might possess the best defense in baseball and what you have here is a club built to win the ones that they are supposed to and more than their share of the ones they’re not. And, if you take into account that their recent run of form is tip top, that they’ve been dispatching their American League competition in these playoffs with relative ease, what you have here is a difficult series. A matchup that no one wishes for and a World Series that could go down in history as one of the most closely contested. But enough with all that – let’s baseball.

Here are the projected pitching matchups, our pitchers listed first:
LHP L. Álvarez (15-9, 3.29 ERA) vs RHP J. Salcido (8-12, 5.62 ERA)
RHP H. Vaughn (11-7, 3.95 ERA) vs RHP M. Villalobos (14-8, 3.17 ERA)

#1: Win, 2-0… Larimel, Russell Harper, and Max Egner held Vancouver in check with Alvarez doing the lions share of the work here, turning in a 6-inning, 2-hit, 3 K masterpiece for the game 1 win. Offensively, Otto was at it again with a solo homer, his 6th DING DONG these playoffs, and Mason brought the cushion in on a well hit single. Not a ton to parse out here – we got after it, played them close, and, ultimately, were able to do what was necessary to earn the win.

#2: Win, 3-2 (12)… Vancouver SP Adam Gunter was fierce, giving the Mounties a tip-top, 7-inning, 2-hit, 2 earned effort in this one, but, it’d not be enough as our staff and the defense situated behind them stayed stout until OH HONG came through with a bottom of the 12th, walk off DING DONG to put us up 2-0 for the series as we head to British Columbia for a set across the border. 3 homers for the club in this one – Click, Bullock, and Hong – each of the solo variety, representing all we’d be good for in this one.

Playoff Record: 9-3
Up Next: We’ll try to close this one out on the road to win our 5th title of the last decade.
