Kansas City will win if: They show up. The Shuffle bring in four Cy Young candidates and thee MVP candidates. Every time you think Kansas City can’t get any better, they make a move that put them even further ahead of the field. Hence 422 wins over four seasons.
Charleston will win if: They put a bunch of goons in the lineup and take out all of Kansas City star players to pave the way for the Rebels starters through the rest of the series. And even that might not be enough. There are not many people outside of Charleston that believe the Rebels can pull this one off.
Intangibles: Kansas City has won 70% of its playoff games since the world began.
Prediction: If Charleston wins this one it would be a huge upset. I’m talking Miracle on Ice big. Fortunately for the Shuffle, Mike Eruzione is not on the Rebels’ roster. Kansas City in three.
