The two best teams are in the Championship, this really is a coin flip both teams are really good I guess I gotta lean Sushi.

I actually really love Sushi's team. BP and bench I think I have advantages. Both rotations are solid but I give the edge to his rotation. I just think my lineup is a little better than his, 1-9 is pretty strong for both of us. I got me in a close one.

This is the best MLB team Sushi has assembled, great job man @CitySushi

Shane in a tight match. Two great teams

Shane's team is a beast.

What I think lays a bit in my favor is that I have a bit more overall speed to my team. Brock has 938 steals, Ozzie 580, Frisch at 419 at the top and bottom of my lineup. Add that with a team of high average hitters and I think I'd be able to produce some runs towards the bottom of my lineup against a great staff that Shane has. Frisch in the 9 hole basically gives me two lead off hitters with a bunch of high power, high average hitters to follow. Shane's team has the overall power, but I think my team could find more ways to score in addition to the long ball.

Shane has the advantage in the BP. Bench, I'd also lean towards him but I think having Vlad, Goose and Yount make it close. I think I have the advantage in the Rotation.

Either way, I wouldn't fault anyone for voting either way. But I'm gonna go with myself here because if I don't do it here, when else will I be able to?

So long story short, I vote for me.

@Shanemansj13 great job too. Helluva team.
