5 to watch: Weekend predictions

1. There will be a tie this weekend.
The prediction already was made earlier this week but this one is a little more general.

2. No one will clinch a playoff berth or division title this week.
With wins, Andy has a chance to clinch a playoff spot and Hal can clinch the division. Bob also can with a win and an Adam loss. But none of them will.


3. Only one team will finish with an ERA below 3.
Right now, Hal, Joe and Andy are the only ones to have one, as the pitching this week, all-around, has been atrocious.

4. Adam will narrowly escape with a win for the second straight week against a vastly inferior team.
Yes, it's a win, but one has to think Adam is a little worried with his team stinking up the joint lately.

5. Half of the matchups will feature at least 20 homers.
For as bad as the pitching has been, the hitting - obviously - has been great.
