Enough of this American League crap! Let's see how the A's do against the National League! This could either go very well or... go pretty much normal (which currently is very bad). Let's hope for the former.

Questions:
1. Series Outcome: 4 games [4 points]
2. First Old Friend: Our old friend Tyson Ross is starting on Monday. He's probably going to pitch a perfect game, but just in case he isn't, we can guess his stats. Facing him is Jesse Hahn, who coincidentally came to us from the Padres! So he's probably going to pitch a perfect game too! For Hahn and Ross, guess IP / H / ER / BB / K for their starts. [2 points each] [20 total]
3. Second Old Friend: We get to see our lumberjack again! Derek Norris is doing quite well for the Padres. His counterpart, Stephen Vogt is doing pretty well himself for our A's (although he's been cold lately). For Vogt and Norris, guess PA / H / XBH / BB / K for the series. [2 points each] [20 total]
4. National League Rules: The first two games of the series are being played in San Diego. Using National League rules. Where pitchers (try to) hit. That's worth repeating. Where pitchers (fail at) hit(ting). I'll never understand it. Anywhoo, let's see how well they do! For each teams pitchers during the first two games of the series(starters and relievers), guess PA / H / K. [2 points each] [12 total]
5. High WPA: Name the position players with the highest WPA for each team, each game. That makes 8 total guesses (you can name the same player twice if you think they'll do it twice.) It does not matter which game the player has the highest WPA. [2 points each] [16 total]
