Cubs over Royals. This is a tough one to call. Beating the Royals’ bats at Parks is a tough ask for any team, but the champ and his dominant team are probably the best-equipped to take advantage of the faovrable scoring positions and outscore the Royals via smaller ball.

Rangers over Bombers. I don’t know how much the Rangers will enjoy playing at the Flats, but they should at least be able to beat the AI.

Devil Rays over Hornets. Big_DAWG is completely new to the BBL, but with the defense he’s taking over, he shouldn’t need to put up very many runs to take home this game. I think he can manage it.

Orioles over Rockies. MartianMan doesn’t seem to really have his groove at Tin Can Alley yet, but it’s a field where Mavfatha has put up some big scores in the past. I think the conditions are ideal for the O’s to finally have a big game.

Pirates over Reds. JY has put on better performances so far than QM has, but Steele should be a great park for the Pirates’ lineup. This could go either way but I think Baltimore can pull off the upset.

Braves over Angels. The Braves will be anxious to bounce back after a rough Week 3, and the short fences at Parks should help them in that quest. The Angels won’t be so happy to face off against their defense, either.

Cardinals over Fishes. The Cards are returning to a home field where they oughtn’t to enjoy playing very much, but with the way they’ve been hitting lately, it might not even make that big of a difference. Are the Fishes really the team that can take advantage of this situation and overpower them? I’m doubtful.

Twins over Athletics. The A’s are coming off their second win and have been more consistent than the Twins, but the short left field fence at Playground will play very well to the Twins’ bats indeed. BABE or no BABE, the Twins can out-slug the A’s.

Yankees over Melonheads. This week’s Match of the Week ought to be a big one, two offense-heavy teams duking it out at Parks. A bit hard to call which team will have the edge, but I’ll pick the Melonheads to fall slightly short as has been their norm this season.

Monsters over Diamondbacks. This is a match to watch for sure, two of the hottest teams in the NL vying for superiority. The D’Backs shouldn’t mind the Monsters’ killer infield as much as most teams, but in the end I still favor Yurya’s experience to gain the edge.

Giants over Marlins. Right now I’m inclined to believe that Itaniium’s rough MOTW performance was a fluke, and they’ll bounce back at the Marlins’ home field – where the Marlins performed notably worse than in their two road games so far.

Wombats over Brewers. Two teams that have had a rocky start to the season square off, and one will collect their first win. Ultimately I think M will be more comfortable playing at the Alley than Silver will, and that will make the difference.
