Expos Bullpen
John Wetteland– Closer- 2.83 ERA, 25 saves
Mel Rojas– 3.32 ERA, 16 saves
Gil Heredia– 3.46 ERA
Jeff Shaw– 3.88 ERA, 1 save
Tim Scott– 2.70 ERA, 1 save
Advantage: Tie (Both teams had dominant closers with a decent supporting cast.)
There are the numbers, who do you think would have reigned victorious in a best of seven match-up? The Expos are much closer to the Blue Jays than I had anticipated and utilized a nice blend of speed and power to get the job done. It would have been interesting to see how far they would have gone if there had not been a work stoppage.
Chime in below folks and let me know who you think was the better team.
