I like 500's pitching more, both lineups are pretty good. I gotta lean 500 2 here.

Both offenses are pretty sick if you ask me, I like Ritz really close there. Likewise, the SP's are almost too close to call, lots of toss up matchups. 500's bullpen is a little better, benches are close. I had Ritz ranked higher, that will be my coin toss

Ritz in 7

I like Ritz offense more despite the lack of power...
Probably like Packs pitching slightly better...

But based on the Ron Cey factor I think I am going to give it to Pack... But these were the 2 teams I liked most of the NON-Milk teams... Plus I am very surprised Ken Boyer is not in the lineup...

 

[Nosferatu]

Ritz = 2
500 = 2

 

[Pack 500]

Love Ritzies team here i think rotation and lineups are close to even but I like my advantage in the pen. 500
