Spoiler
Indy vs. Pittsburgh (Indy won season series 7-5) - The Millers rotation is rested while the Clowns will probably have to start their #4 or #5 in Game 1...that's a loss. SP Jimmy Cook should be able to win at home to even up the series as it heads back to Pittsburgh. Then, ironically, the former Miller Kayden "Smoke" Walker will probably be on the mound for the Clowns.
Toronto vs. Maine (Toronto won season series 10-3) - Neither team is healthy as the Guides are without their leader in SP Fernando and the Canadians are without two key RPs, 2B Jimmy Anderson and DH/OF Tom Palmer. This series feels like a changing of the guard. The Guides are veteran heavy and getting long in the tooth in certain areas while the Canadians might be the best young team in baseball.
Windy City vs. Batavia (Batavia won season series 7-5) - These two teams are almost complete opposites. Windy City has the #2 defense and #2 rotation in the IL, but #6 bullpen and #7 offense. Batavia has #5 defense and #10 rotation, but the #1 bullpen and #2 offense.
New York vs. Philly (Philly won season series 10-8) - Philadelphia is arguably the best wild card team in the entire post-season while New York is probably just happy to be in the dance. The Freedom have the #1 defense, #1 team ERA, #1 rotation and #5 in runs.
