Game 1 of the semifinals are shaping up to be a couple of tight matchups. Just the way we like it.
The Arbitration Losers and Misfits both had starting pitchers who were handed 10-1 leads and neither came away with a win. Both Jair Jurrjens and Homer Bailey scored 6-point starts despite those huge leads. But the Misfits got a very nice start from Ryan Dempster, while the Losers got a tough loss from Roy Halladay. That left their matchup very tight, with the Losers nursing a 91-87 lead.
Three solid days have given the Pickle Bugs an early 91-82 lead over the Gladstone Goatwhisperers. But the GGs have the upper hand on pitching starts, projected at 4 to the Bugs' 3. And the Bugs have to worry about Billingsley's balky calf.
In the consolation round-robin, Pitch You Blockhead is off to a nice lead, despite taking a hit from Madison Bumgarner. And the Fresh Fish's struggles continue.
