IMO Team 1 has the edge in the rotation while team two has the better lineup. Good matchup.

Team 2...better lineup and Kershaw

 

[Nosferatu]

Need more votes...

 

[Nosferatu]

I don't think i'd say Team 2 has a better lineup. It's much to righty dominated. The first 5 batters are all right handed bats, then 2 lefties then 2 righties. I think Team 1 has a much better rotation and Team two drafted 3 closers, kinda not in the spirit of which this is intended so that knocks his team down slightly.

Still pretty good matchup though.
