The Battle of the Titans! Quincy (93-51) vs Bay State (92-52); Ortiz (338-46-122) vs A-Rod (327-56-133); Bedard (14-9 3.54) vs Hernandez (12-4 3.84); Wang (13-8 4.27) vs Oswalt (17-8 4.35).
Quincy leads the division by a single game with 18 to play. This week, QUI has BBM at home and BSK on the road. BBM doesn't have much left to play for, while BSK needs a good showing to wrap up their division. Quincy is in prime position to take 3 of 5 from BSK, and 4 of 5 from BBM to up their record to 100-54.
Then they have eight against BAY to end the season. Both will make the playoffs, but only one will have home field advantage.
Bay State plays ALT at home and FFF on the road. Altenberg is currently the 6th lottery team, and might be playing to keep that spot. However, ALT has no usage issues and will put out their opening day squad. BAY will have a tough time winning 3 of 5. And, in a previous post, BAY takes 3 of 5 from FFF. BAY enters the final week with a 98-56 record.
Head-to-head, BAY trumps QUI on numbers. Bay State leads the Babe Ruth in hitting (292) and is second in ERA (3.96). QUI is 5th in hitting (273) and just 7th in pitching (4.27). Both teams are scoring runs in bunches; QUI 843 (+169 diff) and BAY 820 (+220 diff).
Its going to be exciting!
