Week 7 Preview

And just when I thought I was back on track... Ouch, check out last week's miserable week.

Stats on predictions:
Last week: 1-4-1
Overall: 15-20-1
Upset special: 1-4-1
Mismatch: 2-4


Match of the week
Adam (4-2) vs. Shea (-3)
Line: Adam -1
Info: There's been several times over the last two years where we've built up Adam as a contender only to have him let us down. Let's see this week if he can get by Justin Morneau and Shea's team, which is coming on strong.
All-time series: Adam 5-1
Prediction: Adam 10-8

Mismatch of the week
Andy (5-1) vs. Dave (2-3-1)
Line: Andy -4
Info: Dave gets Jimmy Rollins back this week, but is in a big whole to begin with no two-start pitchers.
All-time series: Tied 3-3
Prediction: Andy 10-7

Upset special of the week
Chris (4-2) vs. Bob (4-2)
Line: Bob -2.5
Info: Normally this would not be an upset special candidate, but Bob is on 4-game win streak and Chris a 2-game losing streak.
All-time series: Bob 4-2
Prediction: Chris 10-9

Rest of the week
Hal (4-2) vs. Mike (2-4)
Line: Hal -4
Info: I'm excited for this matchup, as Mike for some reason has called out Hal more than once. Now, though, it's Hal who clearly has the better team and should be doing the trash talking.
All-time series: N/A
Prediction: Hal 11-8

Ken (1-5) vs. Joe (3-3)
Line: Joe -3.5
Info: Ken gets his first win, and if he has any hopes at a stunning postseason run, he needs a few more in the next few weeks. Joe doesn't look like the same team who has dominated the past couple years.
All-time series: Joe 4-2
Prediction: Ken 12-7

Rick (2-4) vs. Jack (1-4-1)
Line: Pick 'em
Info: Neither team was expected to be playing such bad baseball. Whoever loses this matchup faces an extremely uphill battle.
All-time series: Jack 3-2-1
Prediction: Jack 10-9
