[Season 9] Week Six Predictions

Royals over Rockies. Boston gets yet another road game at a favorable field. Tin Can’s high walls may not be quite as much their style as the short fences of Parks and Steele, but it should still work well with their big bats to give them yet another big game.

Cubs over Orioles. It’s the Cubs versus not-the-Cubs-or-Royals. Not a lot else to be said.

Devil Rays over Rangers. DAWG has proven that he has what it takes to get it done with this team, and the Rangers’ home field won’t do them any favors as they struggle against that nasty defense.

Hornets over Bombers. This game may be the Bombers’ best chance of getting a win this season. It may even be a better chance than they’d have had if they still had a coach. But it’s still not a good chance.

Reds over Angels. Tough one to call, especially with the Angels’ upswing in the last two weeks, but given the overall trends we’ve seen thus far from these two teams, I’m expecting the Reds to pop off at Parks and the Angels to get outshot yet again.

Braves over Pirates. This one’s gotta be a gut call. The Braves haven’t done well at home so far, but I doubt the Pirates will love playing at Eckman either. I really don’t have any read on how it will turn out.

Cardinals over D’Backs. Two heavy-hitting teams square off. If the D’Backs can take this one, it’s another big win in their hunt for the division title, but I feel like the Cards will enjoy their visit to Playground and outshoot their foes.

Monsters over Fishes. The Fishes have picked up a few wins, but I don’t think their offense hits hard enough to take down the Monsters. The undefeated season will continue on, for now.

Twins over Yankees. Games at Steele are normally a best-case scenario for Crazy, but I don’t think his team has enough power hitters to take this one home. The matchup definitely favors Toast on paper.

Melonheads over Athletics. The Melonheads’ struggles on defense coupled with the A’s coming fresh off their highest score gives some cause for concern. But I still think the Melonheads can take this one home to break even in record for the first time this season.

Brewers over Marlins. I don’t think that Tin Can is going to particularly favor the Marlins. If the Brewers can shake off their rough performance from last week, they should be able to grab another win here.

Giants over Wombats. As the Wombats continue the quest for their first win, I don’t think a home game against the toughest team in their division is very promising. They’ll have to wait some more.
