The Traffic have a 4-game set coming up at home against the Toronto Toros
Report on Toronto:
They currently sit at 17-22 (7-12 on the road), good enough for 2nd place in the NL North. They sit 7 back of Fargo for first, and are 2 ahead of both Chicago and Philadelphia. They've scored fewer runs than any team in the NL except for Philly. Their team ERA ranks 5th in the NL.
Likely Pitching Matchups:
Game 1: Rob Cather (3-0, 2.37) vs. Will Piper (4-0, 3.03)
Game 2: Willis Casey (2-3, 3.00) vs. Alex Sanchez (2-3, 4.84)
Game 3: Jesus Estrada (1-5. 6.46) vs. York Watson (2-1, 4.31)
Game 4: Hipolito Santana (1-3, 4.67) vs. Damion Mays (0-0, 7.20)
This could be a tough series, although Trenton would seem to have the advantage on paper. Toronto's pitching has kept them in games thus far in spite of their offense and a few of Trenton's pitchers have struggled (Sanchez in particular). I don't think Trenton will sweep this series.
Who to look out for:
RF Fritz Wilkerson is tied for 5th in the NL in home runs (with, among others, Cap Herrera) with 14- amazingly he only has 22 RBI. The Traffic will have to be careful when pitching to him- the fact that they are throwing 3 lefties in the series (Wilkerson is a lefty) could help.
CF Albert Castro leads the team with a .331 average, a .372 OBP, and 19 runs scored, so keeping him off the basepaths will be a priority.
