5 to watch: Weekend Predictions

1. The closest margin of victory will be three or greater.
Right now, we have a ton of blowouts, and I predict it stays that way through the weekend.

2. Joe will triple Shea's HR, RBI and TB total.
Joe's offense has been so ridiculous this week, it's not out of this world to think he can reach 40 RBIs.

See why Adam LaRoche is pictured as you get the rest of the predictions after the jump...


3. Our two Mets fans will lose by a combined margin greater than their N.Y. team finished out of first place last season.
That's 23 games behind for those who forgot. Let's see if Chris and Dave can keep the hammer on Mike and Ken.

4. Hal will have more losses out of his pitchers than he will home runs from his hitters.
And that, folks, his not easy to do. If you haven't seen how incredibly awful his pitching has been this week, check it out.

5. Adam LaRoche and Robbie Cano will combine to hit at least two more homers this weekend.
They already have three each (more than some teams this week) and are the early candidates for Week 4 MVP.
