Round 4 (July's Games)

July 02, 2025, 11:05:18 AM

Hey Everyone! Good Luck!

1) The Rum Runners are the only team yet to lose a ballgame when leading after 7 innings (32-0). Will they finally experience that heartbreak loss in July? (2 points)

2) The Miners are the only team yet to win a game when tied after 7 innings (0-6). Will they do it in July? (2 points)

3) The ACLs (0-50) and Rougarou (0-43) have the honor of not yet winning a game when trailing after 7 innings.
Pick ONE option:
a) Both will get at least one late-inning win. (2 points)
b) Only the ACLs will win at least one. (3 points)
c) Only the Rougarou will win at least one. (3 points)
d) Neither team will win one. (4 points)

4) Let's Go Streaking!
a) My Thunder are riding a 7-game win streak. Where does it end? (7=1; 8=2; 9=3 and so on. Gotta nail it.)
b) The Koi are enjoying a 5-game win streak. Where does it end? (5=1; 6=2; 7=3 and so on. Gotta nail it.)

5) Let's do some Triple Crown Pitching stuff... The Dogs' Chris Sale and the Brewers' Paul Skenes are the only 2 pitchers in the top ten in all 3 Triple Crown categories. All ties will count in your favor.
a) Does Skenes keep hold of the strikeouts lead? He currently has 131. Teammate Logan Gilbert is just 2 back. (2 points)
b) Does Sale keep the wins lead? He's at 12, with 4 guys behind him at 10. (Yes = 2 points, No = 4 points).
c) Skenes holds a 1.94 ERA (2nd to Nick Martinez's 1.93), and Sale is right behind at 2.04. Between Sale and Skenes, who's ERA is better at the end of July? (2 points)
d) Will Skenes stay in the top 10 in all 3 categories? (Yes = 2 points, No = 4 points)
e) Will Sale stay in the top 10 in all 3 categories? (Yes = 2 points, No = 4 points)

6) How many total wins will your team have at the end of July? (Nail it = 5 points, Within 2 = 2 points).

7) Let's talk playoff seeding. If the playoffs started today, the Rum Runners would hold the 8th playoff spot, 7 games behind the top seed Brewers.
a) Will the top 8 teams remain at the end of July (not necessarily in order - but no other team breaks in)? (Yes = 3 points, No = 3 points).
b) Will the Bums, 2 games behind Chicago, break in? (Yes = 4 points, No = 2 points)
c) Will the Hammers or Madmen (3 games back of Chicago) break in? (Yes = 4 points, No = 2 points)
d) Will the Argos, Yeti, or Koi (4 games behind Chicago) break in? (Yes = 6 points, No = 2 points)
e) Will the Sweets, (6 games behind Chicago) break in? (Yes = 8 points, No = 2)
*** If - with any scenario - there is a tie for 8th place, your predictions will count in your favor.
f) If you answered "No" to "7a" and "Yes" to any of the others, name one team that gets KICKED OUT (ties do NOT count) of the top 8, and get the points that follow their team name. You may only choose ONE:
Chicago = 2 points
Ann Arbor = 3 points
Sanat Ana = 4 points
Tucson or Kraken = 5 points
Great Auk = 8 points
Scurvy = 9 points
Grants Pass = 10 points
