Re: Who has the best EOG team?
Good write-ups, Tripper. How about making some predictions on next week's match-ups...
:cheers
yoyo should beat cee. cee is still at a huge disadvantage until a-rod comes back. that's his 2nd rd pick. i don't really like his starters either. mo should go to 2-0.
rjt to beat tb. rjt has very nice pitching matchups next week. lester with two starts- @ oak and vs bal, liriano faces the jays, max is back, shields has the chi sox, danks has 2 stars. rjt has a nice setup for next week and should win.
ttp and mc should be close. mc only has slowey with 2 starts and ttp has 3 guys, but he has a lot of tough matchups. wellemeyer is @ az and @chc. will be decent dogs in both games. randy is @ lad and vs az. could be a dog in both games. carmona is @ kc and @ nyy. i think carmona is terrible, so he at most wins 1 game imo and will likely get rocked by the yanks. grienke has cle (vs carmona) and @ texas. @ texas is never a good place to be starting because of the park and the lineup. he will really need a low scoring game when grienke and carmona meet. this will be very tight, i will go with mc though because he has better matchups and the hitters are pretty equal.
i think i beat viejo. i love my team. i have 2 starts for litsch with good matchups, 2 starts with pelfrey with good matchups, 2 starts with gallardo, a nice matchup vs the a's for dice k and haren faces the giants. should be a good week for my pitchers, and my rp will be favs more often than not. viejo only has one start with doc and peavy and the rest of his team does not worry me. should be a comfortable win imo.
tuck and gamer will be a great matchup. both have very good teams imo. tuck to me has the better team by a little, but gamer is setup nicely for next week. no 2 starts for tuck and gamer has billingsley, burnett and lilly all on two starts. ubaldo will get crushed @ chc imo so probably best not to start him. perez could have a good outing at home vs the padres. he should at least get a win there. tuck doesn't have tough matchups, but gamer just has a lot more starts and they aren't difficult starts. that should be the difference imo. bats are solid for both teams.
chute and joey i had pegged as the top two teams going into the year, but i have to go with joey here. chute just has too much uncertainty right now with his top arms. both webb and hamels got rocked in their first start and both are banged up. he only has 1 two start sp, and most of his starts are on the road. joey should go 2-0 here.
i have joey, me and yoyo going 2-0 to start the year.:cheers
