The Jersey Damage had the best record in all of the TBBL in 2017 and have the Steinbrenner mentality in full swing:  Championship or BUST.  Three hitters with 40+ homers, 100+ Runs Scored and 100+ RBI makes this lineup tough top to bottom.  Porcello led team with 22 wins but Kluber is the ace the team will lean on.
Prediction:  Jersey in 4 Games (Correct but in 3 games)

The Jersey club has too much and roll into the ALCS.
