The Snake Eyes

The Quebec Snake Eyes have won 8 of 10 and are now tied with the Ottawa Expedition for first place in the Canada League. The 26-19 records are only second (and third) to Paris Artists who check into the series with a FBL best 29-16 record. In addition, the Artist have the leagues best run differential at +68. In the first meeting Paris swept the Snake Eyes in Paris.

25 year old Fares Pere is leading the offensive charge for Quebec. Coming of his rookie year of .221/.307/.408 Pere is slashing at a .310/.361/.540 line. His 11 homers lead the team.

The opener will be a tough one for Julio Gomez, the #5 SP in the Quebec rotation. He'll face Julien Henri, but it is Gomez with the 0.99 ERA who is coming off 22 IP of allowing just 2 runs. So, the favorite might be a toss up.

The home run power edge is owned by Quebec as they lead the league. If the game is close at the end keep in mind that the Artists Gallet has a microscopic ERA of 0.44. With a 3-0, 8 save record Gerard Gallet is paying big dividends on his F.A. contract signed in the off-season. Gallet's numbers are so incredible that I'll save them for another post. He's money at the back end of that bullpen.
