It's not that difficult dude.

Paired Numbers
When two numbers come next to each other in a sentence, be sure to spell out one of these numbers. The main purpose of this rule is to avoid confusing the reader.

Incorrect: There were 12 4-year-old children waiting for the librarian to begin story time.

Correct: There were twelve 4-year-old children waiting for the librarian to begin story time.

Or

Correct: There were 12 four-year-old children waiting for the librarian to begin story time.

Incorrect - no need for commas: Our 75, three stars gonna shock your 85, five stars in Jax.
Grammatically Correct: Our seventy-five 3* players are going to shock your eighty-five 5* players in Jax
Also Grammatically Correct - and probably preferable due to spelling out the shorter number: Our 75 Three-Stars are going to shock your 85 Five Stars in Jax

Ultimately, they're all incorrect unless the way you plan on shocking us is by losing by more than two touchdowns?
