The Colorado Gladiators had the most wins in the AL this season and Casey has his team's sights set on the World Series.  Chris Davis was the offensive leader with his 47 bombs and Shin-Soo Choo and Brandon Crawford both chipped in to form a solid trio.  The rotation starts with Jake Arrieta and his 23 wins and Lackey and Iwakuma are very solid.  Casey is hoping for timely hitting and a lot of zeroes from his starters during his quest to win the AL.

The Jersey Damage won 96 games but are clearly disappointed considering the high hopes the team had coming in.  The offense did its job but the starting pitching failed to live up to the billing.  The pen could be used "excessively" in this series.  Look for Andrew Millers (0.56 ERA), Brad Zieglers (0.65 ERA), Mark Melancons (2.29 ERA) and Aroldys Chapmans (2.68 ERA) arms to fall off if this goes 7. 
Prediction:  Jersey in 6 games  (Wrong!)

Ortiz and Perez can't possibly be as bad again this round as last and Jersey bats explode.
