Questions:
1. Series Outcome: 4 games [4 points]
2. Starters: According to the Probable Pitchers, Sonny Gray is pitching on Monday, and TBD's are pitching Tuesday through Thursday. The White Sox have their sh*t in order and list four actual pitchers, one of which is Jeff Samardzija. So, let's go with that! For Gray and Shark, guess IP / H / ER / BB / K for their starts. [2 points each] [20 total]
3. 1B Men: Canha has been manning first base (I think...who the hell watches these games anymore anyway? Amirite?) Jose Abreu is listed as the White Sox first baseman (according to the depth chart). So, whatevs, let's go with it. For Canha and Abreu, guess PA / H / XBH / BB / K for the series. [2 points each] [20 total]
4. Catchers: Make one set of guesses for all A's catchers combined, and one set of guesses for all White Sox catchers combined. [1 point each] [8 total]
a) Is there a passed ball?
b) Does a catcher throw out a runner trying to steal?
c) Does a catcher hit a Home Run during the series?
d) Does a catcher tag a runner out at the plate?
5. Standings: Hey look! We have another 4 game head-to-head series against teams that are only 1.5 games apart! The Astros lead the Rangers by 1.5 games on Monday. By the end of play on Thursday, guess who is in the lead [1 point] and by how many games [3 points]. [4 total]
6. 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]
