Tremendous series all the way around, so much fun to play this last game out, I have never enjoyed a pitching duel like that seeing teams struggle to get on base. Here are the final stats from each series.

Now for a Showdown Cup Finals look ahead to the Wisconsin Wolves taking on Dat Boy X.

Those are really the only previews you need right?

Dat Boy X took the season series 2-1 winning game 4-3 and 11-3 while losing 3-4 in the other. That was in week 4 of the season so here we are now as the two final teams, things may have changed and I can't wait to see how it plays out and what these managers strategies are.

The poll I took before the playoffs, Dat Boy X is the heavy favorite among the voted, while the Wisconsin Wolves are the total underdog, with no one believing in them not even themselves apparently. Game 1 is looking to be played on Monday and feature Justin Verlander vs Clayton Kershaw. Now if your chance to pick your winner lets hear who you got as the 2018 Showdown Cup Champion?
