GOLD = Milk, UK, Ritz, Gold, Bums
WLK = Nos, WLK, 500

Two great teams but I gotta lean towards WLK in this one...

 

[MilkSpiller22]

I still think Gold needs to restructure his offense to beat one of the big boys in this competition... Fortunately for him, I don't see WLK as a good team... Sorry WLK, I had you and Bums as my 2 lowest ranked teams...

Gold sneaks through...

 

[Nosferatu]

No you didn't... You had WLK 6th and Bums 8th... Guess who was 7th?

[UK Cowboy]

Wow, this is real close matchup of similarly built teams. Both teams have awesome middle of the orders, and while neither rotation does it for me, WLK has the edge with Hubbell and Dean slightly over Gold IMO. That said, while there is an SP edge, it's not dominant pitching, and a lineup with Gehrig and Aaron would score just enough runs

Gold....in 7

 

[Pack 500]

Only thing Gold has an edge in is middle of the order. Rest of the roster I see Wlk having the advantage. WLK

 

[Ritzarmy]

I had gold ranked higher in the rankings so I will go with gold as the winner.

 

[Gold Rush 86]

I have me taking this one. I feel like I have the better lineup, bench and bullpen while WLK has a slight edge at his pitching rotation.

 

[da55bums]

Got to stick with Gold - better lineup, bullpen and bench
