Week 15 Preview
Sorry for the delay, my dumb ass wrote up a preview for next week and had to redo this.
Tlance will be back next week and I’m sure the week 16 preview will be up in a timely manner.
Only 8 weeks left to play before the fantasy playoffs and things are tight. 10.5 games separate the 5th place team from the 11th place team so playoff spots are still up for grabs. 7.5 games separate the 1st place team from the 4th place team so a first round bye is up for grabs. As we draw closer to playoff time those numbers will start to solidify so teams that are hopeful of a playoff berth better start making a move now before it is too late.
Game of the Week.
YellowFuzzy vs D Dude’s Dodgers (Yellow Fuzzy 6 – D Dude’s Dodgers 3)
Last time they squared off The Dudes squeaked past Fuzzy by a score of 5-4.
These teams are in 7th & 8th place and both need a win to stay in the playoff hunt.
The Dudes have 8 starts to Fuzzy’s 10 giving Fuzzy the advantage in wins & K’s. The Dudes not only have 1 more closer but the better closers so saves should go to them. ERA should go to Fuzzy based upon matchups, but could go either way. WHIP could be to close to call and will probably be the swing category.
On the hitting side, Fuzzy has a clear advantage in Runs, RBI’s & BA, but the Dude’s are coming off a bad hitting week so things could get interesting. Stolen bases & home runs are the swing categories are too close to call.
Game of the Weak
The Sportsboys vs Big League Chew (The Sportsboys 6 – Big League Chew 4)
Last time they met Big League Chew shut out The Sportsboys 10-0
10th place vs 11th place so it’s do or die for both of these teams.
The Sportsboys enjoy 13 starts this week to Big Leagues 7 so the edge for wins & K’s go to SamSport. Big League should take saves by default as long as one of their 2 closers gets a save. ERA & WHIP are both close for the year, but the matchups give the edge to Big League.
Hitting wise, The Sportsboys have an advantage in 4 of the 5 hitting categories while Big League seems like a lock to take stolen bases. Both teams had mediocre hitting weeks last week so the score could easily read the opposite way by Sunday.
The Grand Salami vs WHIP out your FIP (The Grand Salami 7 – WHIP out your FIP 3)
FIP Whipped the Salami 7-3 in their last meeting.
2nd place vs 4th place. Starts are 9 to 7 in favor of the Salami’s so they have the wins advantage, and should also take K’s as several of their big guns have double starts this week. Looking at the matchups and league totals, The Salami also have the advantage in era, whip & saves. It could be a clean sweep here if FIP’s boys don’t step it up.
Hitting is a different story. The Salami’s enjoy a slight edge in power, but other than that every category is a swing category. Hitting will most likely come down to this weekend.
WolfPack vs FudPuckers (WolfPack 5 – Fudpuckers 4)
The Pack were beaten off by Puckers 6-3 last time
The Puckers would like to hold their playoff spot and the Pack just want to finish in a respective spot. On the mound starters are 9-8 pack. Matchup wise the pack has the edge and going by the overall numbers, should take ERA. Fudpuckers will take saves as long as they get 1. Beyond that, the rest are swing categories. With 3 Sunday matchups, it could come down to that.
At the plate The Pack have the power advantage as well as rbi’s, and Fud clearly has the speed advantage. Runs & BA are to close to call and both teams bats were hot last week. It could/should be close, but I predict and ugly kind of close.
DUB vs The Soggy Bottom Boyz (Soggy Bottom Boyz 5 – DUB 4)
Last time out The Boyz were Dubbed by a score of 8-1
Two teams going in opposite directions in the standings. The Boyz are going with all starters this week (10 starts) while DUB has 6 starts. Saves are obviously in DUBS pocket while wins & K’s should belong to The Boyz. ERA & WHIP should be close and will come down to who puts up the least amount of clunkers.
In the on deck circle, the Boyz enjoy the power advantage and should take home runs & rbi’s. DUB’s team hits and runs well so they should take batting average & steals. Runs is a tossup, but the boyz have a slight advantage on paper. There should be 3 swing categories going into the weekend, but by Sunday a majority of them should be decided.
TKOut vs Sarnia Tigers (Sarnia Tigers 5 – TKOut 5)
Sarnia delivered a TKO last time out, winning 7-3
8 starts apiece so no advantage here. TKO has one more closer so the Grill master & friends should take saves. After that, everything is up in the air. Sarnia has the advantage on paper in era, whip & wins, but each team has some easy matchups and TKO is no slouch when it comes to era & whip. K’s will be close but look for TKO’s closers to give them that extra boost.
At Bat, Sarnia knows how to score runs while TKO knows how to knock them in. Both teams are equal when it comes to hitting homers and stealing bases so those two could come down to the wire. Both teams hit in the .250 range last week so one or both teams are gonna come out swinging. This one will be closer than the last time around.
Good Luck to everyone in their respective matchups.
