A showdown between any of the above-mentioned teams will battle for the American League Championship.
Manhattan is the clear-cut favorite in a team with two new franchises in the NLE.
Newark should win this Divison, Michigan, Valdosta & Baltimore will beat each other up in the NLC.
Long Beach, Winnipeg, Blarney Drive & Stockton would keep this Division tight & all of them will battle for the NLW.
