[Season 6] Week 4 Predictions

A’s over Tigers. The Tigers are doing all right, but the A’s are the second-most dominant force in the league and other teams shouldn’t be expected to hold up very well against them.

D’Backs over Wombats. The Wombats battled back some despite their Week 3 loss, but they’ll be facing a Diamondbacks team that’s hungry for their first win as they’ve finally escaped the Division of Doom.

Red Sox over Pirates. The Pirates have the lowest total score of any team in the AL after three weeks, and are the only team remaining not to break 10 runs. Not a good sign when going against the powerhouse Red Sox.

Rockies over Blue Jays. Both teams really popped out last week with their best games yet, leaving this matchup a toss-up. But the Rockies are on more of a prolonged streak of improvement right now, they have a less-intimidating defense in the Jays’ to face, and the Jays admitted that powerups were a big part of their latest big score, so Colorado has the edge here.

Indians over Orioles. Two big-hitting teams square off in this matchup. The O’s are on more of a hot streak and thus could feasibly have the advantage for this game, but a return to Sandy Flats may well dampen their spirits and allow the Indians to continue their streak.

Monsters over Melonheads. The Monsters just proved victorious in what may well have been their toughest matchup of the season. Nobody’s going to stop them now, especially not a Melonheads team that hit a nasty skid last week.

Angels over Mariners. Both teams broke out last week to collect their first wins, but the Angels have consistently been putting up the higher scores, and the Mariners’ defense shouldn’t prove too much of a factor when the Angels’ is just as bad.

Devil Rays over Braves. The Rays just put up their best score yet, and their AI has been unstoppable thus far. The Braves have been pretty good so far, but they’ll really need to pull out all the stops and actually beat the Rays’ AI to have a chance in this one.

Marlins over Bombers. This one is a tough call and will depend on which Marlins team shows up. But the French Fishes’ power-based strategy shouldn’t suffer too much against the Bombers’ defense, and Baltimore has to lose one of these weeks if they don’t up their own scores.

Tapirs over Expos. Albuquerque hasn’t been putting up scores as high as their Opening Week smackdown, but they’ve still done all right and should be fine here unless the Expos have their breakout game this week.

Yankees over Giants. The Yanks had a down game last week, but they should be able to bounce back away from the Casa, even against the fearsome Giants AI.

Cubs over Cardinals. The Cards still haven’t gotten into the swing of putting up high scores yet. If the Cubs actually show up to play, they have the edge for that reason.
