[Season 6] Week 7 Predictions

Red Sox over Melonheads. The ‘Heads don’t face quite as hopeless of a contest as they did last week, but nothing indicates that their slump is yet over and the Red Sox would have the edge in any case.

Tigers over Monsters. A tough pick since these teams seem to have the two least motivated coaches right now, but the Monsters might not do so well at their home field while the Tigers might enjoy the change of scenery.

Pirates over D’Backs. Both teams had down weeks last week, but the D’Backs had it harder and will be playing at a very similar field to where they just struggled.

Indians over Blue Jays. The Indians remain in the realm of being defeatable, but the Blue Jays are faring no better than the rest of their division and are unlikely to pull it off at the field where the Indians just hit 14 home runs.

A’s over Orioles. Business as usual for Philadelphia, especially as the Orioles seem to be slipping a bit and are stuck back at Sandy.

Rockies over Wombats. After Week One this would have overwhelmingly favored the Wombats, but since then the Rockies have consistently been much stronger, although their hiccup last week does call this matchup more into question.

Marlins over Cubs. Real-life friends square off for this match, and while the Marlins have been inconsistent, that’s still better than the Cubs’ consistently low scores.

Mariners over Cardinals. This one is a coinflip matchup. The Cards have the one strong score that the Mariners lack, but otherwise have been scoring a little less than the Mariners’ more recent efforts. Either could have a big game, or this could be a nail-biter.

Bombers over Braves. The Bombers have been in more of a groove the past two weeks, and the Braves are just coming off of a demoralizing AI loss. While the Braves’ M.O. shouldn’t be bothered too much by the infield-centric Bombers, that probably won’t be enough for them.

Yankees over Expos. The Expos are on the rise and the Yankees hate the Casa, but the Expos may hate the Casa even more. It’s a field that’s bound to give them a rough time and the Yankees are at least used to it.

Angels over Giants. Coming off a gigantic game last week, the Angels are likely to have another big one at the offense-friendly Dirt Yards. Dunkel on the mound will also limit the Giants’ ability to take advantage of that field themselves.

Tapirs over Devil Rays. The AI Devil Rays have proven beatable, and with three straight scores of 14+, the Tapirs have found their groove and will be favorites for most of their remaining matchups.
