Mexico Rides Strong Pitching To The Top Of Our Unnecessarily Abstruse Little League World Series Power Rankings

Welcome to the second installment of DRURY, our exclusive Little League World Series power ranking and prediction engine. Yesterday's edition was postponed due to the earthquake and lack of interest.

And here are the predictions for today's matchups:

Mexico over Latin America, 86.7% West over Northwest, 87.5%

DRURY's overconfidence in its predictions is compensation for its low self-esteem. It might also have something to do with Mexico and the West's utter dominance so far. We just print what it tells us. The next update will be on Friday; please survive until then.
