A’s over Rockies. With the fall of the Monsters, the A’s are back to being the big team to beat in the Backyard.

D’backs over Orioles. Oakland doesn’t seem to play very well at their home park, which is a good sign for a D’backs team on the upswing.

Pirates over Melonheads. Whether the Pirates’ big surge last week is sustainable remains to be seen, but Jyknight also just came off sweeping Eauxps in all three games of the Rule Dules 2 championship. It’s looking pretty good for him.

Red Sox over Tigers. Boston is on a roll and I don’t think it’s likely to stop anytime soon.

Wombats over Indians. The Indians have been hovering around with beatable scores lately. The Wombats have had a rough time since Opening Week, but a better game from them here is very much possible. If they can recover Week 1 form then they can pull off the upset here.

Monsters over Blue Jays. We’re no longer sure what to expect from this Monsters team, but the Jays just came off a game on pavement, against a worse defense, where they only got a +11, so their prospects aren’t looking too great here.

Angels over Tapirs. The Angels have found their groove and it may be quite difficult for any other teams to beat them this season.

Braves over Giants. This one’s a toss-up as the Braves just got defeated by the other dreaded AI, but on the whole they’ve been scoring higher than the Giants so they get the edge here.

Bombers over Cubs. The Bombers finally suffered their first defeat last week, but a slumping Cubs team may be the perfect game for them to bounce back in.

Mariners over Marlins. It’s hard to know how the Mariners will fare back at their home field and if they can keep up the strength they’ve shown in the past two weeks, but the Marlins’ last game at a cement park didn’t go so well and that gives hope to Seattle.

Devil Rays-Yankees. Could the Yankees be the first team to beat the Devil Rays’ AI? It’s definitely a possibility, but it ought to still give them a hard enough time to make this Tampa’s game to lose.

Cardinals over Expos. The Expos have new life with a new coach, but they’re still a weak team and the Cards won’t be a very friendly team for Penguine to get his feet wet against.
