Royals over Angels. We can all count our blessings that the Royals don’t get an away game at Parks. For whatever that’s worth. Unfortunately for Bobby, it doesn’t make a shred of difference to the Angels.
Reds over Orioles. Can the Orioles replicate their smashing success away from TCA? If Mav’s past history is any indication, the answer is no and the Reds won’t have much of a target to beat.
Cubs over Bombers. It’s theoretically possible that somebody will lose to the Bombers’ AI this season. It’s not theoretically possible that this somebody would be Emery.
Devil Rays over Rockies. We have yet to see how Big_DAWG performs, but I think the Rockies are going to have a lot of trouble against his defense, leaving the door open for him to be able to win even without a particularly impressive performance.
Rangers over Pirates. T-Boz went to town in his first game at Playground. Why not the second as well?
Braves over Hornets. Atlanta may not be too comfortable at their home field, where they’ll be playing on the road this week, but the good news for them is that the Hornets aren’t either.
Cardinals over Brewers. The Brewers would love a chance to carry their momentum forward into a new week… but Casa de Pablo is not a field where they’ll have an easy time doing that. It may be a short-lived resurgence.
Monsters over Marlins. Seeing how well the Monsters perform at Parks should be interesting, but it will also be painful for their opposition.
Fishes over Athletics. The A’s were in quite a funk in their last game, and Eckman Acres won’t be the best place to try and regain their momentum.
Yankees over Diamondbacks. This could be a very important matchup for a D’Backs team hoping to hold onto its division lead. Unfortunately, the Yankees will have the Dubois boost on their side and a field that will be none too friendly for the D’Backs’ offense.
Giants over Twins. The Paveway isn’t a great place for the Twins’ bats – especially if their game at Cement was any indication. The Giants should be able to take this one home.
Melonheads over Wombats. The Melonheads are re-energized after their first win, while the Wombats are starting to lose hope. If their respective scores from the first four weeks are any indication, those feelings will only be reinforced by this week’s matchup.
