The Mad City Paddlers have missed the post season the past 2 years but a 96 win campaign has them rolling when it matters.  Mike Trout is all world and is the heart of the club while the dou of Scherzer and Bumgarner is second to none.  The Paddlers won 10 of the 18 games vs. Rock River this year.

The Eagles are coming off a very good win against the Bitteroots and now take on the Division Winner in Glenview.  The matchups look to be favorable to Newark who absolutely crush LHP and are heading into the series winners of 4 straight.
Prediction:  Paddlers in 7 Games (Correct but in 6 games)

I am pretty certain no one in the NL saw this match up coming so why not go with the hot team.
