Oh My What A Time To Be A Baseball Fan

A season on the brink for most teams as it stands right now. It's everything or nothing for some. A brutal race where anything goes, nothing is of questionable fairness and it all comes down to who wants it more.

Wild Card
Key Upcoming Series
American League
Durham Wolverines(90-68) vs Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo(89-69)
A dangerous series for both clubs. Both currently hold the top 2 WC spots and are within a game of the other. Should one team dominate the other it could open the door for Santa Cruz to sneak in. Durham leads the season series 5-2.

Santa Cruz Banana Slugz(87-71) vs Salem Blue Jays(94-64)
Potentially the most important series in the AL. if the Slugz win and have a little luck fall their way we could see them clinch a playoff berth. If Salem wins and have a little luck fall their way then they might claim the #1 overall AL seed. Salem leads the season series 6-1.

National League
Burlington Coat Factory(88-70) vs Pittsburgh Outlaws(86-72)
The coats currently hold the #1 WC spot. However Pittsburgh currently sits 2 games behind them. This looks to be a tough series for both teams with the loser potentially on the outside looking in. Pitt could be prime for a beatdown with Burlington being 43-35 on the road and Pitt being 39-39 at home. Pittsburgh leads the season series 4-3.

Chicago Chargers(87-71) vs Toronto Trail of Tears(97-61)
This will be a battle of will power as the Chargers will have to overcome a 37-40 record on the road to be a Toronto team that is 50-31 at home. Toronto has clinched the #1 overall NL seed so they have nothing to play for. Will they rest their guys? Toronto leads the season series 5-2.

Portland Rainmakers(87-71) vs St. Louis Spirits(87-71)
Everything is on the line in this series. 3 teams are tied for the last WC spot and town of them are going 12 rounds in this series. Whoever should win this series could either make the playoffs and feast or perish in a famine of futility. St. Louis leads the season series 4-3.

The only race for playoff seeding in the AL is for the #1-3 seeds. It will be decided this weekend with all the teams within 2 games of each other Texas(96-62),Chicago(96-62) and Salem(94-64).

In the NL the race for the #2 seed is on. Florida(92-66) currently holds a two game lead over San Diego(90-68)
