THE BLOODBATH OF WILD CARD PLAYOFF BASEBALL
By Team BSN
Well BSNers, the PLAYOFFS are here!!
Who would have imagined a year ago when it was announced we were getting a baseball team to Western New England that we'd be sitting here talking about playoffs, especially for a team that hadn't seen the post-season in over a decade!
But yet, here we are!
So no what?
Well, we get a bit of a break because this first round is where we get to see who our opponent will be. After a bit of debate about whether ABA would expand Wild Card series from best-of-3 to best-of-5 it remains a 3-game tilt to see who advances.
Then it's best-of-7 the rest of the way out until the best-of-9 marathon known as the Kerouac Cup Series.
The only teams Brattleboro had a losing record against this year: Detroit (0-6) and non-playoff team St. Louis (1-5) so we're obviously rooting for the Pontiacs to get dispatched before the LCS, but we have to get there first!
Here are our predictions for the Wild Card Series matchups:
AL
Phoenix over Louisville
Toronto over San Francisco
NL
Amarillo over Salt Lake City
New York over West Virginia
