Here's the skinny: The Pittsburgh Express and St. Louis Stallions faced off in a three-game series that saw Pittsburgh take two wins with timely hitting and pitching. In Game 1, Pittsburgh's Antonio Serrano led the way with a clutch 3-run homer in the eighth inning to secure a 3-1 victory.

Here's the skinny: The Boston Patriots and Denver Rocketeers faced off in a tight three-game series, with Denver taking two of the three contests. In Game 1, Boston edged out a 6-5 win, thanks to a clutch ninth-inning double by Jose Cooper, overcoming a strong performance by Denver’s Xavier Little, who homered and drove in three runs.

"Not too many highlights on our side," said losing manager Bill Hurff.

The defeat makes Boston 15-13.

Gamblers Win Series 2-1

Las Vegas improved to 23-6, while New York sits at 16-13.

GAME 1 - Taylor in Fine Form in 10-1 Las Vegas Win

A crucial at-bat came with a runner on 1st and no one out in the bottom of the seventh inning. That's when shortstop David Avila, who is tied for 4th in the ABC in stolen bases with 7, hit a double. The Gamblers went on to win.

"For the most part, I made good pitches when I needed to," said Bennett.

GAME 3 - Aces Pop Gamblers, 9-4
The New York Aces stopped the Las Vegas Gamblers, 9-4, behind an impressive performance from Jonathan Mestas. The 30-year old center fielder made life miserable for Las Vegas pitching.

An inflection point occurred with one out in the top of the fifth. That's when Aces designated hitter Robby Chacon hit a knuckle curve from Bobby Rodriguez for a 2-run single. Just like that, New York was up, 4-3.

"I just tried to see the ball and put a good swing on it," said Chacon.

Cincinnati Cougars (15-14) @ Portland Lumberjacks (9-20)

Comets Win Series 2-1
Seattle slug their way to series victory.

Here's the skinny: The Seattle Comets took two out of three games in their series against the Houston Mavericks. In Game 1, Seattle secured a 5-3 victory thanks to a strong pitching performance from Sergio Lopez and a clutch RBI single from Do-hyun Hu in the seventh inning. Houston bounced back in Game 2 with a 7-3 win, fueled by Jesus Vasquez's 3-for-5 performance, including a bases-clearing double in the first inning.

Tampa Bay Storm (12-17) vs. Detroit Dukes (16-13)...
The Storm are 8 games back in the NBC East with a -18 run differential. They’ve been solid on the road (10-6), but their recent form has been up-and-down (5-5 in the last 10). The Dukes are tied for second in the NBC Central with a .552 win percentage and a +13 run differential. They’ve been inconsistent recently, just being swept by Miami and going 4-6 in their last 10 games, and will look to rebound at home. Detroit is favored, but Tampa Bay’s road record suggests they could challenge if they can maintain consistency.

Miami Hurricanes (16-13) vs. Minneapolis Blizzard (10-19)...
The Hurricanes are 4 games back in the NBC East with a -16 run differential. They’re riding a 5-game winning streak and have performed well on the road (11-9). The Blizzard are 8 games back in the NBC Central with a -21 run differential. They’ve been solid at home (9-7) but have struggled overall, going 2-8 in their last 10 games. Miami is favored with their recent momentum, but Minneapolis will look to defend their home field where they’ve been more competitive.

Charlotte Colonels (20-9) vs. Los Angeles Cobras (15-14)...
The Colonels lead the NBC East with a .690 win percentage and a +48 run differential. Despite a 2-game losing streak, they remain one of the most dominant teams in the league. The Cobras are 1 game back in the NBC West, but they’ve struggled recently with a 3-7 record in their last 10 games. They have a narrow +1 run differential and will need a strong showing at home (7-10). Los Angeles will have their hands full against a powerhouse Charlotte team, but home field may give the Cobras a fighting chance.

Atlanta Kings (9-20) vs. Phoenix Firebirds (14-15)...
The Kings are struggling with a .310 win percentage and a -27 run differential. They’ve been inconsistent on the road (5-10) and will need to turn things around to stay competitive. The Firebirds are 2 games back in the NBC West, with a -17 run differential. However, they’ve been strong in close games (3-0 in 1 Run games) and are on a 2-game winning streak. Phoenix is favored in this matchup, especially with their recent success in close games, while Atlanta will try to end their rough patch.

Dallas Rustlers (18-11) vs. San Diego Seraphs (12-17)...
The Rustlers lead the NBC Central with a .621 win percentage and a +28 run differential. Their offense has been explosive, and they’ll look to continue their momentum on the road. The Seraphs are 4 games behind in the NBC West and have a -22 run differential. While their recent form has improved (6-4 in their last 10), they face a tough challenge against a top team. Dallas’s powerful offense makes them the favorite, but San Diego could challenge if they maintain their recent form.

Chicago Fire (16-13) vs. San Francisco Warriors (16-13)...
The Fire are tied for second in the NBC Central. They’ve been dominant at home but weak on the road (5&10), and they’ll need to turn that around in this series. The Warriors lead the NBC West by 1 game, with a +19 run differential. They’ve been strong at home (9&7) and are looking to snap a 1-game losing streak. This is a pivotal series in the early going for both teams, with division standings on the line. San Francisco’s home field advantage may be the key.

Pittsburgh Express (11-18) vs. Nashville Blues (16-13)...
The Express are 5 games back in the ABC East, with a -37 run differential. They’ve been weak on the road (5-11) and will need a big effort to stay competitive. The Blues lead the ABC Central with a .552 win percentage and a +21 run differential. They’ve won 7 of their last 10 games and are strong at home (8-4). Nashville is favored in this matchup, but Pittsburgh will be looking to surprise and break out of their recent slump.

Philadelphia Fury (14-15) vs. St. Louis Stallions (15-14)...
The Fury are 2 games back in the ABC East and have a +6 run differential. They’ve been better on the road (10-10) and will look to take advantage of their strong away performance. The Stallions are 1 game behind in the ABC Central, with a +27 run differential. Their recent form has been shaky (4-6 in their last 10), but they are a solid team at home (8-8). This is a tight series with both teams evenly matched. St. Louis’s home performance and Philadelphia’s road record could make for an exciting series.

New York Aces (16-13) vs. Denver Rocketeers (15-14)...
The Aces lead the ABC East with a +18 run differential, but they’ve been inconsistent recently (5-5 in their last 10). They’ll look to build on their last win, where they snapped the 11 game win streak of Las Vegas. Denver is 8 games behind the Gamblers in the ABC West, with a +2 run differential. They’ve been solid at home (10-7) and are on a 2-game winning streak. This should be a competitive series with both teams looking to gain momentum. Denver’s home performance could give them a slight edge.

Boston Patriots (15-14) vs. Las Vegas Gamblers (23-6)...
The Patriots are 1 game behind in the ABC East but have struggled on the road (5-10). Their +8 run differential shows they can compete, but they’ve dropped their last 2 games. The Gamblers are the best team in the league with a .793 win percentage and a +62 run differential. Despite a rare loss, they remain the team to beat winning 14 of their last 16 games. Las Vegas is the heavy favorite, but Boston will look to challenge them if they can find a way to improve their road form.

Houston Mavericks (11-18) vs. Portland Lumberjacks (9-20)...
The Mavericks are 5 games back in the ABC Central, with a -43 run differential. Their road performance (4-9) has been poor, and they’ll need to snap out of their 7-game losing streak. The Lumberjacks are in a similar situation. They have the worst record in the ABC West, with a .310 win percentage and a -61 run differential. They’ve struggled at home (5-7) and have lost 7 of their last 10 games. This is a matchup of two struggling teams, but Houston has a slight edge given Portland’s defensive struggles.

Cincinnati Cougars (15-14) vs. Seattle Comets (14-15)...
The Cougars are just 1 game behind in the ABC Central, with a +26 run differential. Their road performance (5-10) has been a weak point, but they’ve won 6 of their last 10. The Comets are 9 games behind Las Vegas in the ABC West, and they have a -29 run differential. They’ve been better at home (8-8) and are looking to build on their recent win. Cincinnati is the favorite, but Seattle has the home advantage and could capitalize if they can string together strong performances.

Philadelphia Fury (14-15) @ Nashville Blues (16-13) Nashville Wins Series 2-1 Blues shine in a series featuring dominant pitching. Here's the skinny: The Nashville Blues and Philadelphia Fury battled through a three-game series, with Nashville taking two of the three games. In Game 1, Nashville's Aiden Watkins pitched brilliantly, going 8.2 innings with seven strikeouts to lead the Blues to a 4-0 shutout victory. Philadelphia responded in Game 2 with a 6-1 win, as Gilberto Flores dominated, throwing a complete game while allowing just three hits. The series concluded with a 2-0 victory for Nashville in Game 3, thanks to Alex Alvarez's stellar 8.2-inning, 1-hit performance. Nashville improved to 16-13, while Philadelphia dropped to 14-15 after the hard-fought series. GAME 1 - Watkins, Blues Get 4-0 Win The Nashville Blues topped the Philadelphia Fury, 4-0, in American Baseball Conference action at Blues Stadium. The standout performance belonged to Nashville pitcher and Riverside, California, native Aiden Watkins. The loss drops the Fury to 13-14. Watkins, the Nashville left-hander, went 8.2 innings, allowing no runs on 6 hits. He collected 7 strikeouts. "When you are able to locate the ball, good things are going to happen," said Watkins. GAME 2 - Flores Finds Groove in 6-1 Philadelphia Triumph Philadelphia Fury starter Gilberto Flores pitched a strong game against the Nashville Blues at Blues Stadium, leading the Fury to victory, 6-1. The win puts Philadelphia at 14-14. Flores scattered 3 hits over 9 innings for the Fury. With the win, Flores goes to 4-2 on the year with 42 strikeouts. Philadelphia manager Danny Sanchez praised his team's "businesslike approach." GAME 3 - Alvarez Now 2-4 Following 2-0 Win The Nashville Blues and Philadelphia Fury put on a pitchers' duel. The Nashville Blues picked up a win at Blues Stadium, knocking off the Philadelphia Fury, 2-0. Starting pitcher Alex Alvarez was a big reason why. Nashville goes to 16-13. In his 121-pitch effort, Alvarez allowed no runs on 1 hit over 8.2 innings. He walked 4 and struck out 6. Alvarez attributed the win to "everyone pulling their weight." Pittsburgh Express (11-18) @ St. Louis Stallions (15-14) Express Wins Series 2-1 Pittsburgh relies on team MVP Antonio Serrano's skills to get series win. Here's the skinny: The Pittsburgh Express and St. Louis Stallions faced off in a three-game series that saw Pittsburgh take two wins with timely hitting and pitching. In Game 1, Pittsburgh's Antonio Serrano led the way with a clutch 3-run homer in the eighth inning to secure a 3-1 victory. Game 2 saw St. Louis bounce back, rallying late for a 7-1 win as Danny Martinez's 3-run homer in the eighth put the Stallions ahead. Pittsburgh responded in Game 3 with a 4-2 win, thanks to Doug Farmer's solid pitching and another key hit from Serrano, who had a run-scoring double. The Express improved to 11-18, while the Stallions dropped to 15-14. GAME 1 - Express Use Late Surge to Win Antonio Serrano helped his team muscle past the St. Louis Stallions, 3-1. In the game, the Pittsburgh designated hitter went 2-2 with a home run, a double, and 2 walks. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Pittsburgh pitcher Danny Davalos got the win, upping his record to 1-2. Bert Lopez got the loss. St. Louis falls to 14-13. Serrano had a timely hit for Pittsburgh in the top of the eighth. With Pittsburgh trailing 1-0, he turned a 2-0 curveball into a 3-run home run. It was his 1st home run of the season, making it 3-1, Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh manager Mark Averill called it "a good, solid win." GAME 2 - Late Rally by Stallions Secures 7-1 Win Pittsburgh got a big-time effort from pitcher Ivan Azocar, but it wasn't enough to keep the St. Louis Stallions from winning the game, 7-1. Azocar threw 7.0 innings of shutout ball for the losing team. The win was credited to Isaiah Wilson in relief. His record improves to 3-2. Brook Coan took the loss. The Express, now 10-18, continue their slow start. St. Louis took a 3-1 lead on Danny Martinez's 1st home run of the season. The 3-run home run, which Martinez hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Pittsburgh pitcher Brook Coan visibly frustrated. "Trying isn't good enough in this league," said Martinez. "You've got to get results." GAME 3 - Express Rebuff Stallions, 4-2 The Pittsburgh Express picked up a win at Stallions Grounds, knocking off the St. Louis Stallions, 4-2. On the mound for Pittsburgh was left-hander Doug Farmer. He played a key role in the triumph. The victory makes Pittsburgh 11-18. Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Antonio Serrano? The Pittsburgh left fielder had a run-scoring double in the top of the third inning to put the Express on top, 2-0. For the game, Serrano had 1 double and 2 singles in 5 at-bats. "Nice win for us," said Serrano. "Now we'll go after the next one." Boston Patriots (15-14) @ Denver Rocketeers (15-14) Rocketeers Win Series 2-1 Denver takes two straight after tough Game 1 loss. Here's the skinny: The Boston Patriots and Denver Rocketeers faced off in a tight three-game series, with Denver taking two of the three contests. In Game 1, Boston edged out a 6-5 win, thanks to a clutch ninth-inning double by Jose Cooper, overcoming a strong performance by Denver’s Xavier Little, who homered and drove in three runs. Denver bounced back in Game 2 with a 4-0 shutout, as Damian Serano pitched 6.2 scoreless innings, and Tyler Townsley added a key RBI single. In Game 3, Denver secured the series with a 5-3 victory, highlighted by Boboy Nierva’s go-ahead 2-run double in the eighth inning. The series left Boston at 15-14, while Denver at 15-14 improved their record with the late-game heroics. GAME 1 - Patriots Get Clutch Win, 6-5 The Boston Patriots had to overcome a big game from Denver center fielder Xavier Little to leave Rocketeers Field with a victory. And they did, winning, 6-5. Little was 2 for 3 with a home run and 2 walks, while scoring 2 and driving in 3. Boston goes to 15-12. Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Jose Cooper? The 26-year old first baseman Cooper stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the ninth inning to put Boston up, 6-5. For the game, he was 2 for 5, including 1 double and 1 single. "I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Cooper. "And not try to do too much." GAME 2 - Rocketeers Bag 4-0 Win The Denver Rocketeers picked up a win at Rocketeers Field, taking down the Boston Patriots, 4-0. Starting pitcher Damian Serano was a big reason why. Serano picked up the win for Denver, going 6.2 innings. He gave up no runs on 5 hits. He now sports a record of 2-4. Earning his 4th save for Denver was Michael Castillo. Tyler Townsley dealt the Patriots a blow in the bottom of the fourth. Batting with the bases loaded and Denver leading 1-0, Townsley, who finished 3rd in the NBC in stolen bases with 38 in 1973, hit a first pitch knuckle curve for a run-scoring single. "Not too many highlights on our side," said losing manager Bill Hurff. The defeat makes Boston 15-13. GAME 3 - Rocketeers Score Late, Upend Patriots, 5-3 Denver pitcher DeMario Rodriguez had a large part in his team beating the Boston Patriots, 5-3. The right-hander kept opposing batters in check throughout the game. Pat Jellison, credited with the win in relief, is now 1-2. He allowed no runs on no hits in 0.1 innings. The loss has the Patriots at 15-14. Denver took a 5-3 lead on Boboy Nierva's 7th double of the season. The 2-run double, which Nierva hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Boston pitcher Miguel Velasquez visibly frustrated. In postgame comments to the Denver Today, Rodriguez said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come." New York Aces (16-13) @ Las Vegas Gamblers (23-6) Gamblers Win Series 2-1 Las Vegas has 11 game win streak snapped. Here's the skinny: The Las Vegas Gamblers took two out of three games in their series against the New York Aces, continuing their strong season. In Game 1, Las Vegas dominated with a 10-1 victory behind Jaylen Taylor’s complete-game performance, allowing just one run on four hits over nine innings. Game 2 saw Las Vegas win a tight 3-2 contest, with Fernando Bennett pitching effectively and David Avila's crucial double in the seventh inning helping secure the win. However, New York bounced back in Game 3 with a 9-4 victory, snapping the Gamblers 11-game win streak, led by Jonathan Mestas' 4-for-5 performance and Robby Chacon's 2-run single in the fifth inning. Las Vegas improved to 23-6, while New York sits at 16-13. GAME 1 - Taylor in Fine Form in 10-1 Las Vegas Win New York had no answer for 24-year old right-handed pitcher Jaylen Taylor. The Las Vegas Gamblers starter stymied Aces hitters, helping the Gamblers cruise to victory, 10-1. Las Vegas goes to 22-5. Taylor allowed 1 run on 4 hits over 9 innings for the Gamblers. He walked 1 and struck out 6. "We hit the ball on the barrel," said Las Vegas manager Matt Petrie. GAME 2 - Aces Lose By a Run at Las Vegas Las Vegas pitcher Fernando Bennett did his part in helping his team beat the New York Aces, 3-2. The right-hander kept opposing batters from doing too much damage. Derrek Sanders collected save number 9. Las Vegas, at 23-5, has sizzled in the early going. A crucial at-bat came with a runner on 1st and no one out in the bottom of the seventh inning. That's when shortstop David Avila, who is tied for 4th in the ABC in stolen bases with 7, hit a double. The Gamblers went on to win. "For the most part, I made good pitches when I needed to," said Bennett. GAME 3 - Aces Pop Gamblers, 9-4 The New York Aces stopped the Las Vegas Gamblers, 9-4, behind an impressive performance from Jonathan Mestas. The 30-year old center fielder made life miserable for Las Vegas pitching. He went 4-5 with a double and 3 singles, while scoring 3. Juan Mederos, the winner, is now 1-1. He struck out 6 and walked 1 over 8 innings, while allowing 4 runs on 5 hits. New York goes to 16-13. An inflection point occurred with one out in the top of the fifth. That's when Aces designated hitter Robby Chacon hit a knuckle curve from Bobby Rodriguez for a 2-run single. Just like that, New York was up, 4-3. "I just tried to see the ball and put a good swing on it," said Chacon. Cincinnati Cougars (15-14) @ Portland Lumberjacks (9-20) Cincinnati Wins Series 2-1 Cougars stellar pitching key to series win. Here's the skinny: The Cincinnati Cougars took two out of three games in their series against the Portland Lumberjacks. In Game 1, Cincinnati secured a 5-2 win behind Rick Satchell’s solid 8-inning performance, with Scott Reis contributing two doubles and two RBIs. Portland responded in Game 2 with a 3-2 victory, led by David Rodriguez's strong start and Lance Gregg's key RBI single in the fifth inning. The series concluded with Cincinnati winning 5-0 in Game 3, as Chris Collette dominated, allowing just one hit over seven shutout innings. Cincinnati improved to 15-14, while Portland's struggles continue with a 9-20 record. GAME 1 - Cougars Drop Lumberjacks, 5-2 The Cincinnati Cougars defeated the Portland Lumberjacks, 5-2, in American Baseball Conference action at Portland Grounds. Cincinnati pitcher Rick Satchell had a standout performance. In 8 innings, Satchell surrendered 5 hits, while striking out 2 and walking 1. He allowed 2 runs. The win puts Cincinnati at 14-13. The Cougars got a big at-bat from center fielder Scott Reis. For the game, Reis was 2-4 with 2 doubles and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. In the top of the fifth, with runners on 2nd and 3rd, he stroked a 2-run double. His 5th double of the season gave Cincinnati a 4-2 lead. "At the end of the day, it's always about your starting pitcher," said Cincinnati skipper Chris Allison. GAME 2 - Lumberjacks Win at Home, 3-2 The Portland Lumberjacks and Cincinnati Cougars played an entertaining game for Portland Grounds patrons. Portland Lumberjacks starter David Rodriguez pitched well against the Cincinnati Cougars at Portland Grounds, leading his team to a win, 3-2. Frank Jahr picked up his 3rd save of the season. Lance Gregg, who is tied for 7th in the ABC with a .430 on-base percentage, helped out the Portland cause in the bottom of the fifth inning with a run-scoring single. For the game, the shortstop went 2-4 with 2 singles. In postgame remarks, Rodriguez hailed his team's "grit." The Cougars drop to 14-14 and continue their inconsistent start to the 1981 season. GAME 3 - Collette Now 3-1 After Beating Lumberjacks Chris Collette pitched a dandy of a game to help the Cincinnati Cougars beat the Portland Lumberjacks, 5-0. The loss drops the Lumberjacks to 9-20. Collette gave Cincinnati a solid start. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit over 7 innings. "I thought we played a nice game," Collette told the Cincinnati Observer. "Good pitching, timely hitting, it was all there." Houston Mavericks (11-18) @ Seattle Comets (14-15) Comets Win Series 2-1 Seattle slug their way to series victory. Here's the skinny: The Seattle Comets took two out of three games in their series against the Houston Mavericks. In Game 1, Seattle secured a 5-3 victory thanks to a strong pitching performance from Sergio Lopez and a clutch RBI single from Do-hyun Hu in the seventh inning. Houston bounced back in Game 2 with a 7-3 win, fueled by Jesus Vasquez's 3-for-5 performance, including a bases-clearing double in the first inning. The series concluded with a 5-3 Seattle win in Game 3, highlighted by Carlos Merlos' 3-for-4 performance and Kevin Richardson's 2-run single in the fourth. Seattle improved to 14-15, while Houston's struggles continued at 11-18. GAME 1 - Down to Defeat Goes Houston, 5-3 Sergio Lopez was locked in. The right-hander led the Seattle Comets to a 5-3 win against the Houston Mavericks at Seattle Stadium. Jahiem Bryant collected his 1st save. The Mavericks fall to 10-17 and continue their sputtering start to the 1981 season. Seattle third baseman Do-hyun Hu contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the seventh. With two down, he hit a fastball to right field for a run-scoring single. It was his 24th hit of the season and put the Comets ahead, 5-3. "Sergio had good stuff. When he did get into a compromising count, he made the most of it," said Seattle manager William Ross. GAME 2 - Houston Earn 7-3 Victory at Seattle Stadium Spirited fans greeted the Seattle Comets for their clash with the Houston Mavericks. Getting offensive support from Jesus Vasquez, the Houston Mavericks topped the Seattle Comets, 7-3. Vasquez went 3 for 5 with 2 doubles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for the Mavericks. Seattle falls to 13-15. Early in the game, Vasquez had a bases-clearing double for Houston. It was his 5th double of the season and put the Mavericks on top, 3-0. "It never gets old," said Vasquez. "Winning, that is." GAME 3 - Mavericks Lose, 5-3, at Seattle Stadium The Seattle Comets defeated the Houston Mavericks, 5-3, at Seattle Stadium. Seattle designated hitter Carlos Merlos had a superb performance. He went 3 for 4 with 3 singles. He scored 3 times. Seattle goes to 14-15. Kevin Richardson aided the Seattle cause with a 2-run single in the bottom of the fourth. For the game, the shortstop was 1-3. He drove in 2 runs. Merlos called the win "a collective effort." Real.

The Storm are 8 games back in the NBC East with a -18 run differential. They’ve been solid on the road (10-6), but their recent form has been up-and-down (5-5 in the last 10). The Dukes are tied for second in the NBC Central with a .552 win percentage and a +13 run differential. They’ve been inconsistent recently, just being swept by Miami and going 4-6 in their last 10 games, and will look to rebound at home. Detroit is favored, but Tampa Bay’s road record suggests they could challenge if they can maintain consistency. Miami Hurricanes (16-13) vs. Minneapolis Blizzard (10-19)... The Hurricanes are 4 games back in the NBC East with a -16 run differential. They’re riding a 5-game winning streak and have performed well on the road (11-9). The Blizzard are 8 games back in the NBC Central with a -21 run differential. They’ve been solid at home (9-7) but have struggled overall, going 2-8 in their last 10 games. Miami is favored with their recent momentum, but Minneapolis will look to defend their home field where they’ve been more competitive. Charlotte Colonels (20-9) vs. Los Angeles Cobras (15-14)... The Colonels lead the NBC East with a .690 win percentage and a +48 run differential. Despite a 2-game losing streak, they remain one of the most dominant teams in the league. The Cobras are 1 game back in the NBC West, but they’ve struggled recently with a 3-7 record in their last 10 games. They have a narrow +1 run differential and will need a strong showing at home (7-10). Los Angeles will have their hands full against a powerhouse Charlotte team, but home field may give the Cobras a fighting chance. Atlanta Kings (9-20) vs. Phoenix Firebirds (14-15)... The Kings are struggling with a .310 win percentage and a -27 run differential. They’ve been inconsistent on the road (5-10) and will need to turn things around to stay competitive. The Firebirds are 2 games back in the NBC West, with a -17 run differential. However, they’ve been strong in close games (3-0 in 1 Run games) and are on a 2-game winning streak. Phoenix is favored in this matchup, especially with their recent success in close games, while Atlanta will try to end their rough patch. Dallas Rustlers (18-11) vs. San Diego Seraphs (12-17)... The Rustlers lead the NBC Central with a .621 win percentage and a +28 run differential. Their offense has been explosive, and they’ll look to continue their momentum on the road. The Seraphs are 4 games behind in the NBC West and have a -22 run differential. While their recent form has improved (6-4 in their last 10), they face a tough challenge against a top team. Dallas’s powerful offense makes them the favorite, but San Diego could challenge if they maintain their recent form. Chicago Fire (16-13) vs. San Francisco Warriors (16-13)... The Fire are tied for second in the NBC Central. They’ve been dominant at home but weak on the road (5&10), and they’ll need to turn that around in this series. The Warriors lead the NBC West by 1 game, with a +19 run differential. They’ve been strong at home (9&7) and are looking to snap a 1-game losing streak. This is a pivotal series in the early going for both teams, with division standings on the line. San Francisco’s home field advantage may be the key. Pittsburgh Express (11-18) vs. Nashville Blues (16-13)... The Express are 5 games back in the ABC East, with a -37 run differential. They’ve been weak on the road (5-11) and will need a big effort to stay competitive. The Blues lead the ABC Central with a .552 win percentage and a +21 run differential. They’ve won 7 of their last 10 games and are strong at home (8-4). Nashville is favored in this matchup, but Pittsburgh will be looking to surprise and break out of their recent slump. Philadelphia Fury (14-15) vs. St. Louis Stallions (15-14)... The Fury are 2 games back in the ABC East and have a +6 run differential. They’ve been better on the road (10-10) and will look to take advantage of their strong away performance. The Stallions are 1 game behind in the ABC Central, with a +27 run differential. Their recent form has been shaky (4-6 in their last 10), but they are a solid team at home (8-8). This is a tight series with both teams evenly matched. St. Louis’s home performance and Philadelphia’s road record could make for an exciting series. New York Aces (16-13) vs. Denver Rocketeers (15-14)... The Aces lead the ABC East with a +18 run differential, but they’ve been inconsistent recently (5-5 in their last 10). They’ll look to build on their last win, where they snapped the 11 game win streak of Las Vegas. Denver is 8 games behind the Gamblers in the ABC West, with a +2 run differential. They’ve been solid at home (10-7) and are on a 2-game winning streak. This should be a competitive series with both teams looking to gain momentum. Denver’s home performance could give them a slight edge. Boston Patriots (15-14) vs. Las Vegas Gamblers (23-6)... The Patriots are 1 game behind in the ABC East but have struggled on the road (5-10). Their +8 run differential shows they can compete, but they’ve dropped their last 2 games. The Gamblers are the best team in the league with a .793 win percentage and a +62 run differential. Despite a rare loss, they remain the team to beat winning 14 of their last 16 games. Las Vegas is the heavy favorite, but Boston will look to challenge them if they can find a way to improve their road form. Houston Mavericks (11-18) vs. Portland Lumberjacks (9-20)... The Mavericks are 5 games back in the ABC Central, with a -43 run differential. Their road performance (4-9) has been poor, and they’ll need to snap out of their 7-game losing streak. The Lumberjacks are in a similar situation. They have the worst record in the ABC West, with a .310 win percentage and a -61 run differential. They’ve struggled at home (5-7) and have lost 7 of their last 10 games. This is a matchup of two struggling teams, but Houston has a slight edge given Portland’s defensive struggles. Cincinnati Cougars (15-14) vs. Seattle Comets (14-15)... The Cougars are just 1 game behind in the ABC Central, with a +26 run differential. Their road performance (5-10) has been a weak point, but they’ve won 6 of their last 10. The Comets are 9 games behind Las Vegas in the ABC West, and they have a -29 run differential. They’ve been better at home (8-8) and are looking to build on their recent win. Cincinnati is the favorite, but Seattle has the home advantage and could capitalize if they can string together strong performances. Real.
