TechEast vs Lynx
TechEast came off a strong and convincing win last Friday, defeating a favored Roto NL team. Though there was some controversy surrounding TechEast after the victory, the power-hitting squad should continue to have motivation throughout the season as they look to become an "established team." Moreover, that quest should be a lot easier with solid effort from both sides of the ball. TechEast, with help from manager Baptiste, were able to score 6 runs off the dynamic duo of NubXPRESS and Pesto. Pitching was just as solid, with Sandman7 pitching a full 6 innings and holding Roto NL to just 3 runs. If TechEast can continue this domination today and throughout the season, they might just become a possible favorite to win league.
Lynx had a solid effort against Bombers last week but the Bombers offense was just too hot. Lynx also had a commendable offense, scoring seven runs and almost put the game in reach. Manager EWade and LSU21 should both continue to lead the Lynx offense today.
Players to Watch For:
TechEast
Sandman7. Coming off a very impressive win against Roto NL, Sandman7 might be in a position to show that he really is an elite pitcher. If Sandman can shut down the Lynx offense, look for TechEast to cruise to an easy victory.
Lynx
EWade. EWade has certainly proven that he can hit. Coming off a 2 homerun game against Bombers, EWade should continue to show off his hot bat.
Fire's Prediction: 7-5 TechEast
Newbert's Prediction:
Bombers vs Roto NL
What can be said about Bombers? Although the pitching was a little shaky, the offense managed to score enough runs to lead the team to victory. Individual leaders included gimmepie and BigJuddd, who both combined for 8 RBIs. The Bombers offense should strike fear into the hearts of all elite pitchers. And NubXPRESS should be no exception.
Roto NL came off a disappointing loss Tuesday against TechEast. The offense managed only to score 3 runs and did not give their pitching enough offensive support. The desire for a major upset should motivate Roto NL to score more runs against a tough Bombers squad.
ChungFX will also be starting against his former squad for the first time tonight. Will Roto NL show Chung that they are indeed the better team?
Players to Watch For:
Bombers
BigJuddd should once again lead the Bombers offense. A top offensive performer, BigJuddd should have no problem hitting against Roto NL.
Roto NL
HaZed showed a little fieriness after the game Friday, complaining of a certain play which I still dont understand :). However, his passion for winning might enable him to catch fire and make some noise against former teammate ChungFX.
Fire's Prediction: 12-8 Bombers
Newbert's Prediction:
FlightAL vs Ambition
FlightAL had an easy victory against D Rays last week. Puddles and ZachAtack combined 5 homeruns and 8 RBIs. The beastly offense should perform well against Ambition. Moreover, DrDeath pitched well, going 6 innings and allowing 5 runs.
Ambition also played well but suffered a heart-broken lose against BigHeroes. Ambition kept the game close through 6 innings but 3 homeruns by Nhr made the difference. NlaLoosh pitched well but gave up 10 runs over 6 innings.
Players to Watch For:
FlightAL
DrDeath. If he can pitch well against the experienced offense of Ambition, FlightAL should score enough runs to win the game.
Ambition
NlaLoosh. It will be a very difficult assignment for Loosh as he pitches against the power-hitting lineup of FlightAL. Its highly unlikely Ambition will be able to outscore FlightAL; therefore, if Ambition wants to win, they will have to depend on Loosh to shut down FlightAL.
Fire's Prediction: 12-5 FlightAL
Newbert's Prediction:
BigHeros vs D Rays
BigHeros succeded in denying Ambition an upset last week as they managed to score 10 runs. Led by Nhr, the BigHeros will look to continue their same success tonight against D Rays. Though there is a chance for an upset, it is highly unlikely against D Rays.
D Rays came off an unsurprising loss against FlightAL. The offense was too much to handle for D Rays and they did not have much success on offense either. D Rays might have a chance to defeat BigHeros, but unless their offense can get some runs, it will be close to impossible for them to win.
Players to Watch For:
BigHeros
Nhr came off a big game last week against Ambition. Nhr blasted 3 homeruns and batted in 6 RBIs. The BigHeros offense will once again have to rely on Nhr to have a big game.
D Rays
Tyrrel. Tyrrel also had a multi-homerun game, smashing 2 homeruns to give the D Rays some hope last week. If Tyrrel can continue his same offensive production, maybe the pitching can hold BigHeros and give D Rays the W.
Fire's Prediction: 13-6 BigHeros
Newbert's Prediction:
DwH vs Carnage
DwH suffered a lose to start the season last Friday against FlightNL. While the pitching was certainly there, offensive production was not evident. Sadly, 1 run in elite will not get you any type of victory. In order to win tonight against Carnage, DwH will have to solid effort in both pitching and offense.
Carnage showed last week they can still score runs and have solid pitching. Megatron pitched well, and combined with Toyboy, allowed 3 runs over 6 innings. Offense was just as solid, with production coming from Wiggy and Klemens. Carnage should have another solid game against DwH tonight.
Players to Watch For:
DwH
Luckyme89. Lucky has a strong bat and should be able to drive some runs in DwH and give the pitching some support.
Carnage
Megatron. Megatron might have a hard time shutting down DwH if he is not careful. Whenever these two teams play each other, it is always in an interesting matchup to see who can come up on top.
Fire's Prediction: 13-10 Carnage
Newbert's Prediction:
Rage vs FlightNL
Rage suffered a disappointing loss against Carnage as they were shut down offensively. Defense was apparently a problem for Rage as well, as some missed plays in right field accounted for some runs. Rage will need to play their best tonight against FlightNL. Offense will be the key. If they can score early, chances are they will be able to pull off an upset.
FlightNL came off a impressive win last week. SmokeOut was incredible, going 5 innings while allowing only 1 run. If he can continue his same success and shut down Rage, FlightNL should be able to claim victory.
Players to Watch For:
Rage
rUafraid had to pitch the entire game last Friday against Carnage. He was also disappointed with some defensive plays. rUafraid should be able to ignite some passion in his team and gain some offensive and defensive support.
FlightNL
SmokeOut. This guy had obviously proven he can be a big part of FlightNL's success. If he pitches well, FlightNL should be able to start the season 2-0.
Fire's Prediction: 8-2 FlightNL
Newbert's Prediction:
Rotowire vs Insanity
Rotowire suffered a lose last week against TechWest. While they were many apparent reasons why Roto lost, it seems they will be able to get it together tonight against Insanity. A strong pitching peformance by Skoal last week did make it close for Rotowire but they did fall short. Boget will look to regain his confidence against Insanity, and should let Roto to a W.
Insanity had a strong performance against Empire last week. Killerboy pitched very well, shutting down Empire's offense for the most part. Offense also did well but fell short to the strong pitching combo of Death and FIRE911. Tonight, Insanity will face another tough pitching duo. If Killer can pitch well again, and gain some offensive support, look for Insanity to pull off the upset.
Players to Watch For:
Rotowire
Boget. Boget will look to reclaim his title of "greatest of all-time" tonight against Insanity. He should be able to pull off a great pitching peformance and lead Rotowire to a win.
Insanity
Killerboy. Coming off an amazing pitching peformance, Killer will once again need to pitch well to give his team a chance to win.
Fire's Prediction: 7-6 Rotowire
Newbert's Prediction:
Empire vs TechWest (Game of the Week)
Empire won just by a hair last week against Insanity. MelkyNYY led the team in offensive production, hitting 2 homeruns and batting in 3 RBIs. Strong pitching performances from Death and FIRE911 gave Empire the win. The offense for Empire was a concern but pitching did well enough to carry the team.
TechWest was able to pull off the upset against Rotowire last week. Sandman16 led the team in offense, smashing 2 homeruns and batting 6 RBIs. He will certainly look to lead the team once again against Empire.
This will most likely be a pitching dual. Both teams will have to score runs late in order to win.
Players to Watch For:
Empire
MelkyNYY. Melky proved to be the difference last week and should be able to put on another impressive game tonight.
TechWest
Sandman16 was able to put up some amazing game against Rotowire. He should be able to strike some fear into the hearts of Empire's pitchers.
Fire's Prediction: 8-6 Empire
