World Series Champions Tournament Rd 1. Who you think would win?

I have done this tournament before but this time to make it different I didn't add any Yankee or Red Sox teams this time. Have fun & enjoy. Here is the 1st rd.

#1 Seed 1976 Champions Cincinnati Reds(Big Red machine) Vs #8 Seed 2003 Champions Florida Marlins

#2 seed 1908 Champions Chicago Cubs Vs #7 Seed 1985 Champions Kansas City Royals

#3 Seed 1986 Champions NY Mets Vs # 6 Seed 1992 Champions Toronto Blue Jays

#4 seed 1955 Champions Brooklyn Dodgers Vs #5 Seed 1984 Champions Detroit Tigers

Favorite Answer

1) The Marlins were a great story in 2003, but the wouldn't stand a chance against the Big Red Machine. The Reds are just too good.

2) I'd have to go with the Cubs. The Royals scored the second-fewest runs in the league in 1985, and I can't see them faring well offensively against guys like Mordecai Brown, Ed Ruelbach, or the awesomely named Orval Overall.

3) As much as I love the Jays, I'd have to go with that Mets team. They led the league in both ERA and runs scored, and I think they'd win both tight games or slugfests against my Jays.

4) Nice matchup - the Dodgers started 22-2 in 1955, the TIgers 35-5 in 1984. I'd have to choose the Dodgers, who had four future HOFers in their everyday lineup and an undervalued pitching stuff led by Newcombe and Erskine that led the league in ERA. And Clem Labine was a stud out of that bullpen, too.
