Mebert did a heck of a job, but I believe my squad wins. I think my offense is far superior, and my pitching is very close to his great staff. The strength of his club, IMO is stating pitching, but even there, my 5 guys have a lower career ERA, and even if you go by his big 3 starters of Grove, Young and Maddux, my top 3 are lower by half a run a game. Not saying they are better, but I think My guys could outscore his in a great series

UK

 

[Nosferatu]

I really like both these teams, I think Mebert is better pitching and UK is better hitting. I think UK's advantage in hitting is bigger than Mebert's advantage in pitching. Great series but I gotta lean UK winning game 7 in Chicago.

[Mebert]

UK has the advantage in his stadium, but in mine his bats can't clear the fence and in a game like that I like the advantage that my pitching brings, I have me in a very slight margin.

Parks make it interesting. I think my speed are top and bottom play anywhere, and unless its 600 around, Mantle could clear the fence....

 

[MilkSpiller22]

UK clearly has the better offense... But Mebert clearly has the better pitching staff...

I never like when a team has less than 3 lefties pitchers on the whole staff.... but it is not really a negative here since Mebert is so righty strong... with only only 2 lefties on the bench too...

I think UK has a much better Home field advantage though than Mebert does... So i can see UK stealing a game, while i would be more surprised to see Mebert steal one...


so i pick UK in 7 games...

 

[wlk3]

This is tough... I decided to chose each team 3 times each... I really like UKs team, but I like Meberts pitching more...I think have to go with UK... I feel some of his power hitters can get him a steal... Joss steals game 6...

UK in 6

Yeah, I don't really think I have the better team here, but it is close enough that I can persuade it that way with homer goggles!!!!!!

Congrats UK
