I think Hanshin Tigers have it pretty easy here. Roger Clemens just pitched the Wildcard Game, so I have the definitive pitching advantage in game 1 between Paige and Ryan. The gap in our starters only widens from there.

Beyond that, his middle of the order cannot go shot for shot with mine. Stan the man, Aaron, and Pujols are great, but they can't keep pace with Ruth, Robinson, A Rod and Griffey.

Form holds and the higher seeded Hanshin wins 4-1
