It's Tacoma's hitters against the Santa Cruz pitchers.

Thoughts:
I have a disposition towards looking at pitching more than hitting. Yet this is a batters series Cincinnati has the third most runs scored and Augusta sixth. This one also goes 5 games.
The team that has the most innings where they score more than 3 runs win this series.

Thoughts:
Team statistics seem to heavily favor Charleston, even though they lost the head to head matchup during the season. This one looks likes it also goes 5 games. I think whoever scores the most extra innings runs wins.

I think this one will be the quick one. I like the Seattle rotation best of all 8 rotations and did I say earlier I have a predisposition to favor pitching
