Week 14 Games
AZ SnakePit vs. Gregorius B.I.G.
Sofa King Juiced vs. Angry Saguaro
MyWieterGetzLongoria vs. Space Wizard
Mizzoula Osprey vs. The Rusty Trumbones
Trumboner vs. Got Grittiness?
Waffles vs. Trail-Hitters
CGS vs. Alabama Slammers
Four of the top five play each other this week, with the ESPN Game of the Week pitting reigning champions Mizzoula Osprey against current leaders, the Rusty Trumbones. Mizzoula have been struggling on the mound, without a pitcher currently ranked in the top 100, but the surprising season of Edwin Encarnacion has helped boost their offense. Dee Gordon leads the Trumbones, pitting speed against power in what looks likely to be an offense-minded matchup.
