Week 11 Preview

Last week: 3-3
Overall: 32-20-2
Mismatch: 4-5
Upset special: 3-5



Match of the Week
Mike (6-3-1) vs. Joe (6-3-1)
Line: Mike -0.5
Info: In a division that has four teams separated by a half-game, these matchups - no matter at what point in the season - are always crucial.
All-time series: Tied 4-4
Prediction: Joe 10-7

Mismatch of the Week
Jack (6-3-1) vs. Adam (3-7)
Line: Jack -4.5
Info: Aside from a Week 7 loss to Hal, Adam has lost by at least five in each of his losses. Stunning statistic.
All-time series: Jack 6-2
Prediction: Jack 13-6

Upset of the Week
Andy (3-7) vs. Hal (4-6)
Line: Hal -2
Info: Both teams get one of their best players back (Hanley Ramirez for Andy and Matt Holliday for Hal), but Andy is a little more desperate for a win.
All-time series: Tied 1-1
Prediction: Andy 10-9

Rest of the Week
Chris (5-5) vs. Ken (8-2)
Line: Ken -2.5
Info: Ken's last five wins have been by a combined 13 points, so we expect this to be a tight one. But Chris does not have a quality win this year.
All-time series: Chris 6-1-1
Prediction: Ken 10-9

Shea (5-5) vs. Rick (1-7-2)
Line: Shea -4
Info: I pointed out last week how Shea's downfall starts in Week 10. He lost last week. Let's see if he avoids a disastrous loss this week.
All-time series: Rick 6-2
Prediction: Shea 11-8

Bob (7-3) vs. Dave (3-6-1)
Line: Bob -3
Info: Dave has the offense to beat Bob, so this isn't as one-sided as one might think, especially with Bob having struggled lifetime vs. Dave and having lost three of his last five.
All-time series: Bob 4-3-1
Prediction: Bob 12-7
