Red Sox over Monsters. The Monsters just aren’t cut out for the Division of Doom here. This should be an easy win that the Red Sox absolutely need.

Diamondbacks over A’s. The D’Backs first got an upset against the Indians, then narrowly missed one versus the Sox. Even though they’re out of contention now, they could still play spoiler here with another one against an A’s team that hasn’t scored over 14 since week 8.

Rockies over Pirates. The Rockies just suffered a nasty loss while the Pirates pulled off the upset against the Indians, but a repeat shouldn’t be expected. The Rockies were away from home while the Pirates had the Eckman boost, and neither of those will be the case this week.

Indians over Tigers. If their performances last week were applied to this week, the Tigers would win. But the Indians will be looking to rebound after a two-game skid, and their big bats and staunch defense will likely cause the Tigers some extra trouble.

Melonheads over Blue Jays. The Melonheads are newly energized after taking down the Orioles, their biggest game all season was against the Blue Jays, and this game will be played away from the Casa where the Jays have been so dominant. This has the potential to be a huge win for them.

Wombats over Orioles. The O’s can put up big scores at Sandy, but they generally seem to perform better on the road, plus they just suffered a nasty loss to the Melonheads and could be falling back to a series of weak games. The Wombats have been consistent lately and just proved that they can put up a decent score on the sand. Could go either way depending on how the O’s play, but if they play like last week, it’ll be the Wombats winning.

Marlins over Cardinals. The Marlins have powered up over the course of the season since losing to the AI Cardinals in Week 2. They’ll be fighting to stay in the division hunt while the Cards are effectively done, and playing at home should boost their chances further here.

Angels over Braves. The Braves just got smacked down by the Marlins, and now are set to receive round 2 from the top team in the division.

Tapirs over Bombers. The Tapirs just suffered their first loss since week 3, and they see a noticeable dip in performance whenever they face the NL’s top defenses – of which the Bombers are one. Could this be enough to push the Bombers in front? Maybe, but I think Baltimore will have troubles of their own contending with the Flats.

Mariners over Yankees. The Mariners have been on fire lately while the Yankees have been quite tepid, and now they face one more game at the hated Casa. This should be one that the Mariners can handily take, and then hope desperately for a Tapirs loss.

Expos over Cubs. We don’t even know who will be coaching the Cubs right now, while the Expos just put up 17 and will be facing the softest defense in the NL.

Devil Rays over Giants. This will be a game with huge playoff implications, but also one that’s hard to predict. Last time these two teams played, the Devil Rays won as both lost to the AI, and neither team has seen a lot of improvement over the season. It’s anybody’s guess, but the Devil Rays’ numbers have been better throughout the season, so we’ll back them here.
