Royals over Braves. The Royals are undefeated no more and will be playing at a field that doesn’t particularly favor them. And the Braves just broke out at their home field for their first good score there. This could be a spectacularly wrong prediction, but I think the Braves won’t be able to keep up this output and will have a rough game to close out the first half.

Orioles over Pirates. The Pirates have yet to reach their upswing, but the O’s have been looking a lot better lately. A win here would set them up nicely for the second half of the season.

Cubs over Devil Rays. The Cubs stumbled a bit last week for their second loss, but it was still a very solid performance, Emery’s still a very good player, and he should be able to out-maneuver his division rivals at Dirt Yards.

Rockies over Bombers. Something just tells me the Bombers aren’t winning this one.

Reds over Hornets. JY is finally getting it together, and an easy match against the Hornets ought to be a great way to carry that momentum into the second half.

Angels over Rangers. The Angels have been getting nastily beaten up in recent weeks, but a game on the road should be just what they need to finally stop the bleeding. Their squad looks well-built to take advantage of Steele over a more ill-suited Rangers team.

Cardinals over Wombats. The good news for the Wombats is that they don’t have to play at Casa. The bad news is that they have to try to stop the power-laden Cardinals at Steele. They have an uphill battle doing that for sure.

Monsters over Giants. A fellow cement team may have the best shot at getting the upper hand over the Monsters, but I think it’s more likely that they struggle in another game instead.

Yankees over Fishes. After snapping his nascent losing streak, can Crazy make it two in a row? I think so, as the Fishes aren’t in great shape right now and the Dubois boost will be in play.

Diamondbacks over Athletics. The D’Backs are flying high right now and get to play an away game at a field where they’ll be comfortable. An A’s win here would be a huge upset.

Melonheads over Marlins. The two Parks teams in the NL square off, but one has done a lot better at their home field than the other. I like the Melonheads’ odds to enter the All-Star break with a winning record.

Twins over Brewers. The Brewers just put up their best score yet, but even if Silver stays away from the alcohol, I don’t know if they can keep it consistent at Steele. I’m guessing that they rather continue their current flip-flop cycle and the Twins take one home.
