[Nosferatu]

This is a great matchup, I like my team in a close one...

 

[MilkSpiller22]

I think I am going Nos here... despite not liking lopes, i think he still has a better top of the order, Both teams have similar cleanup hitters, and Nos has more power 5-7...

Nos rotation also is slightly better...

Nos wins...
