Week 10 Preview

Stats on predictions:
Last week: 5-1
Overall: 27-25-2
Upset special: 3-5-1
Mismatch: 5-4


Match of the week
Andy (7-2) vs. Shea (5-3-1)
Line: Shea -1
Info: Andy has the better record, but he has had two miserable weeks from his hitting. Shea's team, on the other hand is on fire, and Vegas seems to favor the Sheep.
All-time series: Shea 4-2
Prediction: Shea 12-8

Mismatch of the week
Joe (5-4) vs. Mike (2-7)
Line: Joe -5
Info: Me thinks we might be seeing an awful lot of Mike this season in the Mismatch of the Week. Joe's team should have no problem disposing of this weak group of guys.
All-time series: Tied 3-3
Prediction: Joe 14-5

Upset special of the week
Dave (3-5-1) vs. Adam (5-4)
Line: Adam -3.5
Info: Dave should be treating this like a must-win, as his schedule gets pretty brutal. A loss here against a team that will be in the wild-card hunt will be damaging.
All-time series: Tied 3-3
Prediction: Dave 10-9

Rest of the week
Hal (6-3) vs. Ken (3-6)
Line: Hal -2.5
Info: Both teams are coming off tough losses, although obviously it was much tougher for Ken given his record. This should be an exciting matchup, especially now that Ken's team has started believing it can win some games.
All-time series: N/A
Prediction: Hal 11-8

Bob (6-3) vs. Jack (2-6-1)
Line: Bob -4.5
Info: Easily could have been a Mismatch of the Week candidate. We know Jack won't throw in the towel, but it just seems like the guys aren't responding as they have in years past. It will be interesting to see how Bob handles Stephen Strasburg's debut week.
All-time series: Tied 3-3
Prediction: Bob 13-7

Rick (3-6) vs. Chris (5-3-1)
Line: Chris -3
Info: Both teams coming off much, much, much-needed wins last week. And both teams crushed the ball last week, combining for 273 - yes, 273! - total bases. This is the first match these two have had since last year's classic regular-season finale.
All-time series: Rick 5-1
Prediction: Rick 10-9
