Series: Beach Boys 6 - 4
Starting Pitching: No comparison the Beach Boys have a huge advantage. Omar Elcano is one the leagues best. R.J. Molina, Dick Reed, and Jorge Navarro are all very good (probably better than all of the PnBs starting pitchers) . Bubba Rose and Gary Wyatt are decent for the PnBs, but who starts after them? Cookie Almanza? Omar Polonia? Michael Ming? Polonia, Alamanza, and Ming are a joke.
Edge: The Beach Boys have a huge edge in starting pitching.
Bullpen: The Beach Boys have last seasons fireman of the year Johnnie Moeller. The PnBs closer is the very good but young Dan Stearns. The BBs converted 69% of their save opportunities vs. 80% for the PnBs.
Edge: Pork N Beans. The BBs blew too many save opportunites.
Hitting: The PnBs scored more runs, had more HRs, and stolen bases. The BBs had a higher team BA. The PnBs have MVP candidate Zoltan Mercedes, along with big hitters Junior Bocachica and Max Lima. The BBs have one of the best young hitters in the league - Luis Cruz.
Edge: Pork N Beans.
Fielding: The BBs have a better fielding percentage. The PnBs have gold glover Max Lima behind the plate.
Edge: Beach Boys.
Pick: The Beach Boys in 4. The PnBs starting pitching is pitiful.
