Consider a Baseball Thrown to the Left, Spinning Clockwise and Experiencing

Consider a baseball thrown to the left, spinning clockwise and experiencing laminar flow as shown in the picture below. Based upon the wind speed experienced at the top and bottom of the ball, comment on whether or not this would account for the ball's obtaining a lift (the vertical component of the purple arrow) from spinning. Also, mention whether the ball shown is a good candidate for the Magnus force or for wake deflection.
