After the first round, all the games will be tight. Lineup wise, I think WLK has a little more power, my guys are better for average. Both rotations are outstanding, I definitely think mine is stronger. I think my bench is a little stronger and the pens are close, slight edge for me. I'll take my squad in 6 tough games

I love the Mechanical Man at leadoff ahead of Gwynn. Even though I like Charlie as a two hitter better.

And the 70's Tanana vs Kershaw is a much better matchup that you'd think at first glance. But I'm going UKwith a slight edge despite the lack of power.

I like WLK's lineup a bit better aside from the huge run on righty bats but that might not be so bad with UK having 4 righty starters. I don't think either bench is great, good not great, both teams have pretty good pens but neither much better than the other.

I just cant see no matter how much I like WLK's lineup how UK's starters would lose 4 of 7...

I gotta go UK in a crazy good matchup. Well done fellas...

I thought the same thing about the power after seeing Bonds and Schmidt, but if you total both teams lineups and benches, you might be surprised on that too....

Again, I dislike that UK only has one lefty SP, but here it does not hurt him since WLK did not pay for a lefty.

I got UK here, his rotation is just much better. And with a righty strong rotation vs a righty strong offense!!!

UK in an unpresidented vote against my own greatness...
