The Protect Your Nuts squad won 90 games and were paced by Clayton Kershaw and his 15 wins.  Matt Kemp hada resurgence on offence pounding out 32 bombs and Schoop is coming into his own at 2B.  The key for the Nuts may be the Cole Hamels and Justin Verlander starts.

The Mad City Paddlers locked up the # 2 seed and look to advance to the NLCS in this tough five game series with Protect.  Three Paddlers drove in 100 or more runs and the staff wa anchored by Scherzer all season.  The question mark may be what Bumgarner shows up in October?
Prediction:  Mad City in 5 games (Correct but in 3 games)

The Paddlers get too much offense and advance to the NLCS.  Trout named MVP of the series.
