5 to watch: Weekend predictions

For this weekend's predictions, we have a guest blogger!

Joe, owner of the Smutt Peddlers, has made five predictions.

1. Bob will hit at least 17 home runs.
He has 11 so far after a ridiculous night mid-week where he hit like seven or eight.

2. Shea will hit over .370 by week's end.
He's at .364 going into tonight, and Shea even disputes the claim himself. "My team sucks on Sunday."

The rest after the jump.


3. Andy will finish with a batting average under .200.
He's currently at .181 and that seems possible, for sure.

4. Chris will not reach 80 total bases this week.
He's at 45 right now, and his new team name will not help him.

5. Despite all of Shea's hits, Joe will win their matchup.
That's a tall task, trailing 13-3.
