Week 17 games

AZ SnakePit vs. Socrates Burritos
MyWieterGetzLongoria vs. Smell the Glove
Angry Saguaro vs. Yasmany as Possible
Trail-Hitters vs. Rougned Hodor
Dirk Ziegler vs. What the Hellickson?
Alabama Slammers vs. Waffles
Mizzoula Osprey vs. CGS

Alabama Slammers take on Waffles in the ESPN Game of the Week. J.D. Martinez has become the powerhouse for the Slammers' offense, while Felix Hernandez is the ace of their pitching staff. Waffles may have the edge on the mound, since they counter with Max Scherzer at the front of the rotation; however, with their top hitter being Alex Rodriguez, Alabama seem to be better served for offense.
