Monsters over A’s. The A’s have been a force in the first two games, but the Monsters’ worse performance is tougher than their better one, and the Monsters have a much scarier defense. It’ll be another romp for Minnesota.

Red Sox over D’backs. A frustrated Red Sox team will be looking to take it out and get their first win, and an also-struggling Diamondbacks squad will be the perfect targets for it.

Tigers over Rockies. Subject to change based on Week 2 results. If the Rockies bounce back in Week 2 then they could well continue that momentum against a Tigers team that suffered a setback this week, but if they stay deflated then they’ll be a good mark for the Tigers to bounce back on.

Indians over Pirates. Defense doesn’t matter as much if you hit it over the fence, and the Indians will look to be proving that in this contest.

Melonheads over Orioles. Both teams swung back after opening losses and will be looking to take a division lead this week. But the Melonheads just came off scoring 17 in the sand and have scored higher than the O’s in both weeks, giving them the edge.

Blue Jays over Wombats. This could go either way depending on what Wombats team shows up. They could lay down the smackdown if in Opening Week form, but be easy prey if in Week 2 form. But meanwhile, the Blue Jays will be playing away from sand for the first time, and we might see a whole new team emerge as a result.

Angels over Cardinals. Despite a 2-0 record, the Cards haven’t really gotten in the groove yet, and have been outscored both weeks by the 0-2 Angels. An Angels team that’s suffered two narrow losses might have some major steam to let off. Could be a rough week for St. Louis.

Braves over Marlins. Two teams facing off that mostly rely on slugging to survive. As long as Lambert continues to show up, though, the Braves should have the edge.

Mariners over Tapirs. The Mariners have had a rough first two weeks, but a softer Tapirs defense should help them to get back into the groove, while their own defense should keep Albuquerque down without much trouble.

Yankees over Bombers. The Yanks’ strong hitters are the perfect counter to the Bombers’ infield. Despite being 2-0, the Bombers haven’t had the most impressive showing yet, and this might be the game where their luck runs out for the first time.

Giants over Cubs. The Cubs looked better in Week 2, but they haven’t really awakened as a dominant force yet. They could do that this week, or the Giants’ imposing AI could send them right back to their Week 1 struggles.

Devil Rays over Expos. The Expos worked on building back in Week 2, but the 2-0 AI Devil Rays could easily bring them crashing right back down and hand another one to Tampa.
