It's an interesting match-up. I like Ritz offense more, and while WLK has the edge in the first two pitching matchups, his offense would rack up runs the last three games .Problem is, so would WLKs, I think WLK would edge it out in a long series
WLK

I feel my hitters/lineup are if not the best but one of the best in this draft. His pitching is better because I focused it on a balanced lineup. I like my bullpen a little better. I got myself winning this matchup.

Ritzy has the worst rotation in this mock... Not because he didn't take any HOF, but even the all stars he took are amongst the weakest... Which makes it hard to win... as despite WLK only having one HOF offensively, it is good enough of an offense to win this...

WLK wins...

How quickly people change their opinions. Before it was who ever had the best lineup wins because great hitters beat great pitchers and now we are going opposite. I disagree with Milk saying that my non HOF pitchers are the weakest. I got a outstanding lineup and that should be enough to knockout any great pitcher they face.

It's not as simple as getting the most pitchers or the most hitters. It's how many games each team would win in an overall match-up. At least it is for me

I consistently take pitching, and in the rules of this draft there was not enough to build the same kind of lineup that we usually get. So this one favors pitching more than usual.

I do kind of disagree with that. If you have an overpowering offense, the other team would need 3 legit aces to hold you down, because average pitchers would get crushed. I think if you had a great offense, and a strong enough #1 or #2 that you could split the first couple against a pitching heavy team, you'd have the ticket

It is a give or take. Each team is its own comparrison. All things equal I always take pitching though.

I got Ritzy because I already won

I think if Ritz would have gotten a couple betters starting pitchers he could have won the whooe thing. Pettite as the ace isnt very strong though
