The Glenview Flyers won a franchise best 103 games in 2016 en route to a post season appearance and the # 3 seed in the National League.  The Flyers had one of the best SP in the league in Tommy Milone (13-0, 1.98 ERA) along with Joey Votto's bat and glove leading the way.  The Flyers have speed and play great defense and will depend on Rosario and Jackson to help with the offensive load.

The Paddlers are perhaps the toughest opverall team in the National League and are extremely well balanced with starting pitching, power hitting and speed and defense.  Mike Trout is the best player in the NL and Jose Altuve might be the wildcard for the entire series.  Bumgarner, Scherzer and Quintana will be very tough to beat in a 7 game series.
Prediction:  Mad City in 6 games (Correct but in 7 games)

Paddlers have too much.
