Jeffro is riding the hot streak wave. He wins this one in 6!

 

[MilkSpiller22]

I don't love either rotation, but Jeffro is slightly better.
I have Mebert's offense being better despite Jeffro's unreal 3-4...
Bullpen I like Mebert's lefty's much more but Jeffro's righties much more...
both benches are very weak...

I got Mebert to win, since both teams are offense strong, and mebert's is better...

 

[Mebert]

Out teams are similar in a lot of ways, He has bat power, but I have more speed. I like my pitching more though. I have me in this matchup

 

[jeffro151]

Jeffro.
I've shown on paper that my rotation is better. Ruth and Aaron would put up big numbers against his 3,4 and 5 pitchers.

 

[UK Cowboy]

I think this is a toss up. Very hard to go against Jeffro's middle of the order, but Mebert has a much deeper lineup. I do think you could pitch around Babe-Aaron, but they are still gonna destroy Meberts 3-5 starters. Problem is, Jeffros 3-5 isn't much better, and would get smashed by Meberts deeper squad

Mebert in 7

Jeffro.
I've shown on paper that my rotation is better. Ruth and Aaron would put up big numbers against his 3,4 and 5 pitchers.

Career stats don't really factor into my opinion in these.

But I vote Jeffro in a tight 7 game series.

 

[wlk3]

Mebert by 1 in 7...

Boy do I have some bitching to do about the crazy my day has and I still have to coach a 9/10 yo basketball game...

 

[Nosferatu]

Ya know, i've been looking at this matchup for a couple hours and I honestly cant decide. I go one way then I look at the other team and i'm like but...

 

[Pack 500]

Neither starting rotation is holding these offenses down so I will go by the better offense

Rickey > Kipnis
Carew > Machado
A-Rod < Babe
Ott < Hank
Teix < Yogi
Davis < Bautista
Posey > Jones
Arenado < Gordon
Hunter > Xander

5-4 Jeffro so basically a wash. I do like the middle of Mebert's middle of the order a lot even though Jeffro's is better. I think the difference comes down to the bullpen. I can't see Mebert holding any leads with that pen and the starters won't be going long these games while Jeffro has Betances and Davis.

I knew I shouldnt have waited so long now my vote decides it!

 

[Ritzarmy]

I knew I shouldnt have waited so long now my vote decides it!

Oh sure that's the reason.

 

[Nosferatu]

I do like Jeffro's rotation better if when using all 5. It's hard to vote against the Bambino but I think you could pitch around him. I just like the depth of Mebert's lineup. I dont believe either pen or bench sways the vote. I gotta lean Mebert.

Sorry Jeffro, I have never thought this long about a game before. I hate someone had to lose this one...

 

[Nosferatu]

Oh sure that's the reason.

I'm trying to think of how this makes any sense... Nope, can't do it...

 

[Nosferatu]

Congrats Mebert
