The Camel Camp have perhaps the best 1-2 punch in the TBBL with Verlander and Kershaw.  Pocket Aces should dominate their 4-5 starts.

The Bitteroots have no holes and their 107 wins prove that.  The SP tandem of Carpenter and Lee makes this team very tough to handle in a 7 game series.
Prediction:  Osama in 6 games (Correct but in 7 games)

The boys from Osama were my pre-season pick to win it all so I can't change that now.  There is too much balance on this team to pick against them and their SP lines up nicely for this 7 game series.  Verlander and Kershaw will need to be on top of their game to get past a very tough Beartooth team.
