Here are the provisional line-ups for the AFL Championship Game, which starts a few minutes after 1pm (Arizona time). There will be two Diamondbacks’ prospects in the Rafters’ starting line-up; we were hoping Jon Duplantier might be the starting pitcher, but that sadly will not be happening. Still, we will get to see shortstop Jazz Chisholm and catcher Daulton Varsho (top) in action, and you never know who might come out of the bullpen... Salt River just edged out the Mesa Solar Sox by half a game in the East. The Javelinas cantered to a nine-game margin in the West, going 21-9, and with two of MLB’s top prospects in their line-up, are probably the favorites. But, it’s baseball and in one game, anything can happen!
