Week 6 Preview

Now that things are starting to make some sense, it's no coincidence that my predictions are heating up.

Onto the week we go.


Stats on predictions:
Last week: 5-1
Overall: 14-16
Upset special: 1-4
Mismatch: 2-3

Match of the week
Andy (4-1) vs. Chris (4-1)
Line: Andy -0.5
Info: A no-brainer for MOTW. Both teams coming off bad hitting weeks, but they each have the potential to explode. We could see 25+ homers from these two.
All-time series: Chris 4-1-1
Prediction: Chris 11-8

Mismatch of the week
Hal (4-1) vs. Shea (2-3)
Line: Hal -5
Info: On a four-game winning streak, Hal is outscoring opponents by an incredible 51-27. And now he gets a week with Roy Halladay starting twice? Good luck, Shea.
All-time series: N/A
Prediction: Hal 14-5

Upset of the week
Dave (2-3) vs. Jack (1-4)
Line: Dave -2
Info: Hard to classify this as a big upset, but still one. Jack might even classify this as a must-win; it'd be tough to rebound from a 1-5 start. Dave has had close matchups just about every week, so this could be a good one.
All-time series: Dave 2-1-3
Prediction: Jack 10-9

Rest of the week
Rick (2-3) vs. Ken (0-5)
Line: Rick -4
Info: Ken is halfway toward setting a league record for futility. I can't lie when I say we'd all like to see him go winless this season, though. That truly would be historical.
All-time series: Rick 4-2
Prediction: Rick 12-6

Mike (2-3) vs. Bob (3-2)
Line: Bob -3
Info: Bob has never lost to Mike in the regular season. Now that his team has gotten hot, all signs point to keeping that streak alive.
All-time series: Bob 5-0-1
Prediction: Bob 12-7

Joe (3-2) vs. Adam (3-2)
Line: Joe -1.5
Info: Joe is riding high after dethroning the lone undefeated team. Adam is riding high after a big win vs. Rick. Both teams have had success against each other in the past What will give?
All-time series: Tied 3-3
Prediction: Joe 11-7
