What are you guys/gals predictions for these next couple of 2-game series?
I'm going to predict we take 3 of the 4 games. I'll predict we sweep the Cubs and lose one vs. the Pirates (though if I knew what the Pirates pitching rotation was going to be, I might change my prediction to a sweep). If we have to face Charlie Morton again, I think we stand a good chance at losing that game. I have not looked up what he has done in his past few games, but I know he was pitching awfully good last time I heard and he OWNED us that windy Friday night opener of the 4-game Pirates series. He seems to have corrected his mechanics (pitching almost just like, wind-up/release-point wise as Doc Halliday).
Of course, the game tonight vs. Zambrano isn't going to be a cake-walk by any means. Zambrano is a pretty solid pitcher in his own right. But (IIRC we're starting Homer tonight, correct?), I think Bailey will cont. his dominance, our bats will stay hot and we'll beat him.
So that's my prediction....sweep the Cubs and take 1 of the 2 vs. the Pirates. Though it sure won't hurt my feelings any if I end up being wrong and we sweep both series! :D
What say you folks?
