   1. Series outcome [3 points] A’s 2-1
   2. Predict Haren’s IP/ER/K [2 points each] 7/2/6
   3. The Diamondbacks offense is averaging only 4.15 runs per game this year, which is even worse than our lovable muppets. How many total runs are scored (by both teams put together) in this clash of formidable offensive titans? [3 points] 28
   4. I don’t have a good stat to use to measure the number of bone-headed plays that Byrnsie makes in left fields, so we’re just going to guess his AB/H/RBI instead [2 points each] 12/2/1
   5. Edgar Gonzalez, the latest member of the Oakland-Sacramento frequent flyers (drivers?) club. How many innings does he last in his start? [3 points] 5
   6. Orlando Cabrera has a 5 game hitting streak and has been batting .363 with 2 HR over that span. Does he keep the hitting streak going through this series? 1 if right, 1 if wrong] no
   7. So far this season, Russ Springer is giving up a somewhat ridiculous 2.08 HR/9IP (his home run per fly ball rate is high at 12.5%, but that’s actually pretty close to his percentage from 59 IP with the Astros in 2005; it seems like a big part of the problem is his fly ball percentage of 60.4%, which is 9 points higher than his career average). Does Springer give up a home run against the Dbacks? [1 if right, 1 if wrong] no
   8. The Diamondbacks are one of the most infield-pop-up-hittingest teams in baseball, with an infield fly ball percentage of 21.3%, putting them behind only the Mariners and Tigers. How many pop-ups do A’s pitchers induce in the series? [3 points] 7
   9. Which team gives away the most bases through the combination of errors, wild pitches, balks, and passed balls? 1 if right, 1 if wrong] A’s
  10. Geren’s quick hook :: Does any Oakland starter exceed 100 pitches? [1 if right, 1 if wrong] yes

   6. Orlando Cabrera has a 5 game hitting streak and has been batting .363 with 2 HR over that span. Does he keep the hitting streak going through this series? 1 if right, -1 if wrong] no :(
   7. . Does Springer give up a home run against the Dbacks? [1 if right, -1 if wrong] no homers given up by springer
   8. How many pop-ups do A’s pitchers induce in the series? [3 points] 5.. i guess..
   9. Which team gives away the most bases through the combination of errors, wild pitches, balks, and passed balls? 1 if right, -1 if wrong] Diamondbacks
  10. Geren’s quick hook :: Does any Oakland starter exceed 100 pitches? [1 if right, -1 if wrong] yep, Outman does
