Richard Obert, Arizona Central
This is only the fourth game for the Rattlers (3-0), but it's huge for home-field advantage in the playoffs, because next week the Rattlers play host to red-hot Pittsburgh Power, maybe the best team in the East. Then, after that, the Rattlers get San Antonio, arguably the league's worst team.
