World Series & All-Star Game Preview

 

 

(1) 100% Real Juice vs (3) West Coast Washout

8/19, 11:00AM

 

100% Real Juice easily dispatched the Sons of Pitches last week, maintaining their near-perfect record. It would be hard to construct a much better team than theirs: lethal offense, smothering defense, and dueling aces in Aaron Hunter and Epo Olivarez. But in their one loss of the season, their bats were neutralized by a riseball and excellent fielding, while the defense and pitching were pried open with great baserunning.

 

Fortunately for West Coast Washout, they fit that bill exactly and are peaking at the right time. Dan Rish will look to dial in his riser as Jeremy Salvo continues to get on base and cause mayhem on the basepaths.

 

Slight edge goes to the Juice with their season-long track record, but this is going to be an amazing series.
