What to Watch For
Puebla comes in with the series advantage at 3-2, one win away from punching their ticket to the final. The Diablos Rojos are in a genuine must-win spot — drop this one and they go home. The game on the mound shapes up as a compelling Latin American duel: Dominican righty Antonio Santos for Puebla against Venezuelan righty Ricardo Pinto for Mexico City. Both starters carry the weight of keeping their teams alive or closing the door from the very first inning.
