@Nosferatu are you posting who gets home field advantage or is it bottom team is home field advantage team...?

 

[UK Cowboy]

I commented to Nos after about 10 rounds that 500 was gonna be tough to beat, but Milk did a terrific job of filling out his roster. His starting pitching is very close, as is his bullpen, which might be slightly better. I do think that 500 has better offense, and would be able to pull it out, but could see it going either way. Great matchup

Milk's team ended up being better than I thought it would be after about 10-12 rounds but 500 is just better in the starting lineup, I do like both rotations. I love the George Davis pick.

I got 500 in 7

[Mebert]

500's bats are crazy good, I really like Milks pitching, but in the end I don't think it is enough to overcome in this matchup.

I was talking to Nos, saying this was the worst matchup for me... pack did a great job drafting... I do think my team is better in old time and his is better in modern... My biggest knocks on Pack's team is his bench and bullpen are weak... I also don't think he is built well in a old time stadium...

I think my team would still win, because i think my team is better in modern than his team is in Old... so i think i am more likely to steal a game...

So i think i win in 7...

I've been avoiding this one lol... The Mebert/UK match was killer now this one...

Left Field: 310 ft (94.5 m)
Deep Left-Center: 379 ft (115.5 m)
Center Field: 389 ft 9 in (118.8 m)
Deep Right-Center: 420 ft (128 m)
Right Center: 380 ft (115.8 m)
Right Field: 302 ft (92 m)
Backstop: 60 ft (18.3 m)


Left field: 348 ft.
left-center: 351 ft
Center field: 484 ft.
Right-center: 344 ft.
Right field: 297 ft.

There's a difference for sure, but not enough to be a game changer IMO... I think the pitching is very close to Milk but I think 500 has the advantage hitting... A series this close I have to go with the team that has more home games... I know that's a cop out so I'll say it this way, I believe 500 is good enough on offense to overcome Milks pitching... I think Milk will take an away game but I think so will 500...

500 in 7
