Leon Jackson - Cobbfather Post Gazette w/ special correspondent Shenaynay from the Psychic Friends network
The season previews are completed, so now it's time to get to predictions for the playoffs. It's time to either put up or shut up! So let's get into how we think the NL is going to go down.
NL Play-In Series
3 Augusta Spiders vs. 6 New York Primetimers
Another tremendous battle in the first round of two very good teams. If for no other reason than furniss just always wins in Cobb league playoffs, we’ll take Augusta in a very closely contested series.
Prediction: Augusta in 5
4 Cincinnati Flying Pigs vs. 5 Houston Rockets
Houston has a lot better pitching staff than Cincy and we think that will be the key to this series. Cincinnati is just going to be overmatched here, so we’re taking the Rockets.
Prediction: Cincinnati in 4
NLDS
1 Sacramento Fighting Cornish Hens vs. 5 Houston Rockets
Sacramento can match Houston’s great pitching, and the Sacramento offense will be just too much for Houston’s great arms, while Houston can’t counter with quite as an impressive offense as Sacramento’s. Offense prevails in this series!
Prediction: Sacramento in 4
2 Huntington Liberators vs. 3 Augusta Spiders
These two teams are very evenly matched. I’d say slight edge to Huntington’s offense, and a slight edge to Augusta’s pitching. In the end, again, we’re going to have to go with furniss, who did I mention doesn’t lose in the playoffs?
Prediction: Augusta in 5
NLCS
1 Sacramento Fighting Cornish Hens vs. 3 Augusta Spiders
And we’re down to the final two teams in the NL, and they couldn’t be more evenly matched. And both are excellent, skillful owners who know the game well. This is truly a battle of behemoths in the Cobb worlds. Will it be furniss’s mastery of the playoffs that prevails or will it be FW’s savvy managerial wit?
Prediction: Sacramento in 7
