Well, in all honesty, they both have a great claim. And it won't help the Omahonians a lick when they are going to go up against the Liberty League champions, because they are bound to have good pitching as well, and Omaha has no offense to speak of.
Edit: Boston might be a better match for the Mutuals, since their offense looks to be thinner and their pitchers are walking more and striking out less batters, which should help the Mutuals tremendously.
Edit, too: Well, except for Peters. He's a beast.

Well, one other thing to remember is that the two leagues do not play by the same rules. For instance, Liberty League pitchers can throw overhand, but only get 6 balls to walk someone. GNA pitchers have to keep their arm below the shoulder and get 7 balls. So, you cannot really compare the stats directly.
When the showdown comes, the rules of the home team will be enforced.
