Rays, Southern League playoffs at a glance

The Biscuits aren't in the playoffs, though Durham's roster is now festooned with recent Biscuits, but the teams above and below Montgomery in the Tampa Bay organization are. High-Class A Charlotte starts a best-of-3 series tonight and Triple-A Durham gets going Wednesday with a best-of-5. (*--My guess as to who starts for the Crabs and Bulls.)

The Southern League postseason begins Thursday and the Birmingham Barons are hosting the Jacksonville Suns. It's not that far of a drive to Hoover.

DURHAM BULLS VS. LOUISVILLE BATS
Wednesday: at Durham, 6:05 p.m. CDT (Jeremy Hellickson)
Thursday: at Durham, 6:05 (Mitch Talbot)
Friday: at Louisville, 6:05 (Jason Cromer)
Saturday: at Louisville, 5:05, if necessary (Rayner Oliveros*)

Sunday: at Louisville, 4:05, if necessary
Winner faces Gwinnett or Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, best-of-5 series starts Sept. 15

CHARLOTTE STONE CRABS VS. FORT MYERS MIRACLE
Today: at Charlotte, 6:05 p.m. CDT (Jeremy Hall)
Wednesday: at Fort Myers, 6:05 (Alex Cobb*)
Thursday: at Fort Myers, 6:05, if necessary (David Newmann*)

SOUTHERN LEAGUE
