5 to watch: Weekend predictions

1. The U.S. will not lose to England.
Wait, wrong sport? Oops...

2. Interleague play will wreak havoc on complete games.
Either an 8 inning complete-game loss for an NL pitcher or a great AL pitcher's outing ruined because he had to be pinch hit for when he normally wouldn't.


3. There will be another name change by the time this week ends.
First Bob, then Chris. Something tells me we're not done quite yet.

4. Mike's four-game losing streak will easily come to an end.
Not a hard prediction to come true, in all likelihood, but one that's necessary to make.

5. Gavin Floyd and Ted Lilly will have a role in deciding matchups on Sunday night.
Cubs-White Sox is the late game, and Jack vs. Bob and Chris vs. Rick will be close.
