[Nosferatu]

UK votes WLK per text...

 

[Mebert]

I like my rotation and bats better. Mebert

 

[Nosferatu]

This is the closest of the play in games IMO. I guess I lean WLK

 

[wlk3]

I like your bats slightly better and your rotation... I think my defense and BP make up the difference... I think I can pull out a 3-2 series....

 

[Shanemansj13]

Both have very good lineups. I lean Mebert on that. Mebert's 1-2 is pretty awesome but overall I like Wlk's staff better. Both have very good bullpens but I lean Wlk.

Another great matchup but I vote Wlk slightly. Man this was tough though.

 

[Pack 500]

Mebert

 

[tlance]

I got WLK

 

[Bolts]

Mebert

Also looks like someone left a delicious piece of cake for me. Thank you kind stranger!

 

[femurov]

Mebert

 

[Nosferatu]

We need some more votes in this one before we can move on...

 

[Ritzarmy]

WLK in a very close matchup. Wow went back in forth on this one. One point had Mebert because of his awesome pitching. Then WLK because of his lineup. In the end I feel WLK's team just could just pull out a game 5 win. Sorry Mebert should have went with my first choice and say screw wlk.

 

[MilkSpiller22]

both rotations are not the greatest IMO... Both very top strong and bottom weak...

And i am not a catfish fan... i think he might have been the worst value pick in this whole mock...

I prefer mebert's offense slightly,

and i prefer WLKs bullpen...

I will go Mebert in a tight one...

 

[Nosferatu]

Congrats WLK
