Week Seven Predictions

 Predicted winners are in bold:

Lapine v. Younger- It’s a wonder that a team loaded with this much offensive talent is 3-4. In fact despite their sub .500 record, they have the third best run differential in the league. Now is about the time that the win column will start to reflect how dangerous this team can be.

Wallman v. Marrone- With the Brocks out, this is the perfect time for Marrone to end their stretch of futility.

Granese v. Harris- Both teams have shown signs of life lately but I think the momentum of Team Harris is slightly bigger than Granese’s right now.

Harris v. Jacoby- If my earlier predictions prove to be correct, Team Harris will come into this game satisfied to get at least one win on Sunday. Beating the best team in the league is too tall of an order, even for a team starting to find its legs.

Jacoby b. Mamone- The neon green machine will keep going strong. I don’t think we’re looking at an 18-4 final record, but at the end of Sunday, we should be looking at an 8-0 team.

Bykofsky v. Beilis- This won’t be as big of a landslide as most people probably assume. Bykofsky has confirmed themselves as the sleeper team of the year. However, they have one of the most difficult double headers imaginable.

Pollock v. Applebaum- Just when Team Applebaum’s buzz has reached a new level, they have their flattest game of the year. One game can just be an aberration. Two games starts becoming a trend. Meanwhile, Team Pollock’s new look defensive construction is off to a good start and will face a major test this week. If we win, then the league may have to reassess a team that currently has 6 players (Roland, Pollock, Pollock, Pollock, Freeman, Silberman) batting at least .500.

Feldman v. Randell- Stat of the Week: Team Randell has given up exactly 11 runs in their last 5 games. Team Feldman plays very solid D, so it may be challenging for the offense to score the 12 runs that will be necessary.

Carlin v. Goldfarb- With all due respect to Team Carlin, I have a strong feeling that this will be the game that clearly establishes Goldfarb as being one of the best teams in the league while Team Carlin starts falling back to the middle of the pack.

Bykofsky v. Goldfarb- It’s hard for me to predict a double loss for Team Bykofsky. I like their club, but like I said earlier, this is as tough of a double header as you can have. I wouldn’t be surprised if they prove me wrong one of these two games. It’s just hard to pick against a Goldfarb squad that should be establishing themselves as one of the elites.
