A’s over Pirates. The A’s recently suffered a surprising defeat, but that was against one of the toughest teams in the AL. Against one of the runts of the league in the Pirates? Not likely to happen.

D’Backs over Indians. A bold prediction, especially considering these teams’ performances last week. But it’s not too likely for the Indians to repeat their dominant performance of last week, or the Diamondbacks to repeat their failure, and the Paveway might just be the one field this season where the Indians could be vulnerable. D’Backs could definitely have another one of their big games and snag the upset.

Red Sox over Blue Jays. The Jays had a huge game last week at the same field where they’ll be playing again, but they’ve been inconsistent and a second straight Sox upset seems unlikely.

Orioles over Monsters. The O’s have been on a tear, and Tin Can Alley could serve their big-hitting team very well. Now that they have the division lead, they’re likely to extend it over some of their competition this week.

Rockies over Melonheads. Despite being four games apart, these two teams actually have very similar run output, the Melonheads outscoring the Rockies by 6 over the course of the season so far, and by 2 last week. But the Melonheads have also given up almost 40 more runs, and the Rockies have shown that they’re better at actually getting the job done and winning.

Wombats over Tigers. The Wombats have awoken recently and are still in the hunt for the playoffs. Ozzman had his breakout game last week but may well not repeat, and the Wombats will need this win.

Angels over Bombers. Two juggernauts of the NL square off in a huge game this week, but the Angels have scored higher than the Bombers’ season high score for eight weeks in a row now, leaving them as clear favorites.

Yankees over Braves. A tough one to call, but we’re favoring New York here as their getting away from Casa should be helpful, and the Braves have shown no long-term improvement, scoring 1 or less in 3 out of the past 5 games.

Marlins over Expos. The Battle for Montreal has been hyped since before the season started, but a forfeit from the Expos casts a cloud over their chances of victory.

Cardinals over Giants. Two teams that typically score pretty low will be facing off, but the Cards have been much more successful this season and are likely to prove victorious again.

Tapirs over Cubs. The Cubs will have a brand-new coach and we don’t know what to expect from them, but the Tapirs have been consistently dominant, so it will likely be a rough welcome.

Mariners over Devil Rays. Both teams are grasping at playoff hopes still, but the Devil Rays are on a six-game slide and have beaten 4 only once in the past six weeks, while the Mariners have scored 7 or more each of the past three weeks. The Paveway won’t even be unfamiliar for them, so they have the advantage this week.
