Monsters over Red Sox. The Monsters came out of the gate with a bang, and they shouldn’t be expected to let up against the Red Sox. Whenever the Sox fail to hit one onto the trailer or dumpsters, the Monsters’ fielders will be reeling the balls in quickly, and they may not look so good this game.

A’s over D’Backs. The Diamondbacks should be able to do better this week then their Week One effort, but the A’s showed that they’re playing on a whole different level. The D’Backs just gave up a 50 to the Monsters, so the A’s ought to have a field day as well.

Pirates over Rockies. The Rockies just came off a game where they struggled against the Indians’ defense, and the Pirates’ isn’t likely to give them any easier of a time.

Indians over Tigers. Both teams had a successful opening week. The Indians had a bigger game than the Tigers, but they won’t be playing at home here and that could become a problem. This one could go either way.

Melonheads over Blue Jays. The Jays may struggle more as the Melonheads’ defense is stronger than the Orioles’. The ‘Heads are a team that may have trouble at the sandy Casa, but they were able to get by there during training and have a decent shot.

Wombats over Orioles. The Wombats came out in force against the Melonheads, and there’s no reason to expect that they won’t be even more successful against the Orioles, especially with Ken Griffey Jr. playing at his worst park.

Cardinals over Marlins. The Cards’ first result hasn’t come in yet as of this writing, but their team is solid and the Marlins could struggle at the Paveway, where the long ball won’t be an option.

Angels over Braves. We don’t know how the Braves play yet, but the Angels will be hungry for a win after their close loss in Opening Week and will have the home field advantage.

Bombers over Tapirs. Without the Mariners’ fearsome defense to grapple with, the Bombers should be more effective this week. The same can’t be said for the Tapirs, whose weak-hitting squad is the perfect prety for the Bombers’ infield.

Yankees over Mariners. The Yankees will be glad to get away from the Casa, and they’ll take it out on a Mariners team that might be demoralized after a narrow loss last week.

Cubs over Expos. Predicting between two teams that suffered AI losses in Opening Week is a tough task, but the Cubs’ dynamic offense should help them to rebound better.

Devil Rays over Giants. It’s hard to tell how either team might get an edge over the other here, but the Devil Rays are playing at home and the advantage may well work to their favor.
