GIG-2019 Round 7

GIG standings are updated.

Answers to Round 6 are at the bottom of that thread.

Are you ready for this?  The average score in Gig-2019 Round 6 was… 3.3!  High scorer was Craig with 8.  Honorable mention goes to Shane with 7.  Dishonorable mention to my man Dan, who scored… nada.  I think maybe my questions in Round 6 were a bit tight and stingy.  Although, there were some upsets.  Like the Dogs passing the ACLs in wins (they were 2 back), Gallo passing Judge in K’s (he was 3 back) and my Blues passing the Dogs in total pitching K’s (we were 3 strikeouts behind).

Holding onto first place in GIG by a thread is Rod, followed by Jason just one back.  Everyone who’s been consistent in playing is still very much in this for the upcoming supplemental pick after round 4 in the 2019 Minor League Draft.  Keep it up!

Onto Round 7, which covers FIFTEEN games, through July 15 (since we have an All-Star break July 1-5). 

1) Points Possible: 3
In Round 6 we started a "best record in the league watch," which only included the Dogs and ACLs.  But thanks to a still-current 10-game winning streak, the Kraken almost took the lead!  Rod’s Scurvy Dogs hold that best record (55 wins) by one game over the ACL’s and Kraken.
a) For two points: Which team will be on top of the MSB world at the end of Round 7? (ties will be awarded)
b) For one point: How many wins will the league leading team have (remember, 15 games this round, not 13)?

2) Points Possible: 2
It’s safe to say the Koi’s Masahiro Tanaka knows how to control the running game.  While he’s underperforming (4.89 ERA compared to a 3.75 ERA in real life), he is the ONLY qualified pitcher who has yet to give up a stolen base.  In 84.2 innings.  A couple questions about Tanaka…
a) For one point: Will he give up a stolen base before Round 7 ends?
b) For one point: Will his ERA go UP, or DOWN?  (if it - by chance - stays the same, I’ll give one point to everyone)

3) Points Possible: 5
There are some great battles going on for the 2nd Wild Card slot in both the Ford Frick (FF) and the Kennesaw Mountain Landis (KML) leagues.  In the FF, the Blues currently own the #1 WC place, but just 3 games back are the Miners (45) and the Koi (44, riding a current 9-game winning streak). And don’t count out the Sweets just yet with 38.  In the KML, we have FOUR teams with a legitimate shot at that last WC spot.  The Hogs currently hold the #1 Wild Card with 44 wins, but right behind are the current #2 WC team Landlubbers (41), followed closely by the Devils (39), Rougarou (37) and Rum Runners (37).  You may wish to view the upcoming schedule before answering this question, and maybe consult it regarding question 5 as well.
a) For TWO points: Which team will be in the lead for the #2 WC spot in the FF? (ties count)
b) For THREE points: Which team will be in the lead for the #2 WC in the KML? (ties count)

4) Points Possible: 4
With 3 games to go before the halfway mark, we only have 3 players on pace to have over 200 hits: the Argonauts’ JD Martinez (105), the ACLs Mookie Betts (98), and the Kraken’s Scooter Gennett (98).
a) For one point: Which player will be leading in hits at the end of Round 7?
b) Bonus: How many hits will the leader have at the end of Round 7? (3 points if you nail it, 2 if you’re within 3, 1 if you’re within 5)

5) Points Possible: 6
While there are 5 teams whose pitching staffs have given up more than 116 home runs already (Devils - 123; Rattlers - 117; Robots - 117; Bums - 116; Rum Runners - 116), there are also 5 teams who’ve given up less than 80 (Koi - 70; Blues - 73; Argonauts - 74; Rougarou - 75; Landlubbers - 78).
a) For one point: Which team will have given up the MOST home runs at the end of Round 7?
b) Bonus: What will the league high be? (2 points if you nail it, 1 point if you’re within 3)
c) For one point: Which team will have given up the LEAST home runs at the end of Round 7?
d) Bonus: What will the league low be? (2 points if you nail it, 1 point if you’re within 3)

Total points possible for Round 7: 20

Good luck!  As per usual, Rod will likely start running games on Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning.  So you have roughly 72 hours to answer the questions.

I edited JD Martinez's hit total from a typo (1220) to 120 on June 28, 8:23 AM.  If anyone believes this shouldn't be allowed, I'm totally cool with that.
