When you have a team as talented as ER and Clay Co in Single A the goal is a gold ball. Who you schedule out of district is important. Where you decide to play your holiday tournament/s is important. Not taking anything away from ER or Clay, they both have solid squads, but I feel some other Single A contenders scheduled harder and therefore are more battled tested for the situation when it comes.
With all that being said, I have this game capped at Clay Co -6
Strong will be too Strong in this matchup and will want one more game at home.
Good Luck to both teams.
