Thoughts:
It will be Seattle's pitching against Vegas' hitting. Looking at how efficient Las Vegas was scoring their baserunners during the season; that rate will be hard to replicate in a short series against good pitching. Seattle in 4.

Thoughts:
Louisville's bats against Santa Cruz' pitching. Once again a playoff team scored an amazing number of their base runners during the season. That is hard to do in a short series in the playoffs. Dickel says renrog gets revenge for the season 43 results. Santa Cruz in 4.
