The Questions
1. Series outcome (3 games) [3 points]
2. Starz and Goatz: Taking the hill. Which starting pitchers will have the best and worst single game WPA? (one answer for each) [2 points each; 4 total]
3. Speaking of starters, the A's are lucky enough to face Cole Hamels and Roy Halladay for the weekend games. Shockingly enough, they are both 9-3 with a 2.51 ERA. For each, answer: both, neither, Hamels, or Halladay [2 points each; 8 total]:
Gives up 6 or more hits
A's hit a home run against
Walks 3 or more
Has the better ERA after the series (Hamels, Halladay, or still tied)
4. So I went to the Rivercats/Padres game Wednesday and was wondering where Chris Carter was. Found him! Predict Carter's AB/H/XBH/BB [2 points each; 8 total]
5. The pitchers get to borrow someone else's bat and dig in. For the A's combined pitching staff, predict (while batting): H/K/BB/RBI. How many times do A's pitchers strike out looking? [2 points each; 10 total]
6. Ryan Howard is still a stud. He is 2nd in the NL in RBIs, and leads the Phillies in doubles and home runs. So how many RBIs, doubles, and home runs for the big first baseman? [2 points each; 6 total]
7. Obligatory gold jersey question: How many games do the A's wear gold? How many games do they win in the gold jerseys? [1 point each; 2 total]

The range for that one was actually between 9 and 18, with a median around 14. Not as bad as you might have thought.

I remember it as 39-48 with a median around 47
I’m pretty sure I’m right.
