Probables

Do your homework

1. Series outcome (4 games) [4 points]

2. Starz: Higher and higher. Name the starter, reliever, and position player for each team with the highest single-game WPA in the series. [2 points each; 12 total]

3. Guillermo Moscoso was lit up in his last start in Detroit, but is still keeping his ERA at 2.96. After his start Monday night, is his ERA above, below, or at 3.00? Also predict: #pitches +/-5, #strikes +/-3, H, ER [1 point for ERA, 2 each for the rest, 9 total]

4. One of the highlights of the A's hitting is their lack of strikeouts. The A's are 24th in the majors with only 633 K's this year, while the Rays are in the top ten with 742. How many K's for each team in the series (+/-2)? Name any one player that strikes out 4 or more times in the series [2 points each; 6 total]

5. For each, predict Oakland, Tampa, or tied: More hits, more runs scored, more walks, more errors [1 point each; 4 total]

6. Hideki Matsui has been white hot in the second half. In the last 10 games, he's batting .441 with 15 hits and 12 RBIs, capping it with a 5 for 5 versus New York on Sunday. How many H/XBH/BB/RBI for Matsui? [2 points each]

7. Michael Choice has reached base in the Ports' last 43 games. Is the streak still intact after Thursday's game at Visalia? [1 point]
