MiLB: 2018 Southern League South Division Championship Series Preview

The Pensacola Blue Wahoos clinched their second straight playoff berth by having the second-best record overall in the South Division in 2018. A 69-68 overall record was the second best to the Biloxi Shuckers (81-59) who clinched both halves of the 2018 season. The Pensacola Blue Wahoos are sitting in the same situation as the Montgomery Biscuits faced last season after the Chattanooga Lookouts clinched both halves.

The Blue Wahoos have a big hill to climb if they want to successfully defend their 2017 Southern League Championship as they face a team who swept both halves of the season. Right fielder Aristides Aquino has the most home runs of the organization with 20 while Shed Long has the most runs at 75. Gavin LaValley has the most RBI's at 57.

 The Biloxi Shuckers pulled an impressive 2018 season campaign sweeping the halves of the season. The Shuckers had an 81-59 regular season win-loss record which ultimately put them in the same position the Chattanooga Lookouts were in last season.

Corey Ray, Southern League MVP, will take center stage as he looks to bring Biloxi their first championship. Ray leads the team runs, home runs, runs batted in, and stolen bases. He also leads home runs and doubles in the league.

It wasn't a victory for Chad Reed in Detroit but it was a podium finish for the driver from Kurri Kurri, Australia. His first podium since Glendale in 2017 and the 132nd career podium finish. The finish is just another page in the story for Reed and 2019 has been one hell of a story so far. Reed has already earned more top 10 finishes this season then he did last season. The first top-five finish Reed earned this year already was more than he netted in 2018. Before San Diego, Reed had not finished inside the top five since Toronto in 2017. Will Christien denoted to Reed during the post-race interview that he had not been a fan of the new "Triple Crown" format but will take a third place finish.
