Predictions for the West Coast Swing?

[OFFNY]

o

1-0 after tomorrow night's game against the Athletics.

5-5 ...

5-5 ...

I predict/expect 5-5, anything above that is gravy. I also predict hand wringing and doomsday, even with a 5-5 record against such a tough stretch on the road. I think that would be a solid showing, though.

By the way, does anyone know, is the team already on the left coast?

I would imagine so they were to workout in Oakland today.

[El Gordo]

Here is my prediction based on matchups

7/18 Oakland Tilman vs Samardja Win

7/19 Oak Chen vs Hammel loss

7/20 Oak Gausman vs Gray loss

7/21 LA Norris vs Shoemaker win

7/22 LA Gonzo vs Santiago win

7/23 LA Tilman vs Weaver loss

7/24 Sea Chen vs Hernandez loss

7/25 Sea Gausman vs Young win

7/26 Sea Norris vs Elias win

7/27 Sea Gonzo vs Walker loss

All those matchups look like toss ups to me. Except for King Felix. I thought we weren't facing him. Since every one feels like we are overmatched out West, I say we have a winning record on this trip. Who knows, 9-1? OAK, LAA and SEA are good but so are we. They are probably saying "Oh no it's the O's".

For what it's worth we were 2-0 against the mariners when Felix started in 2012 (didn't face him in 2013). That being said, he's looking just about his nastiest this year.

I agree, though, while were apparently quaking in our boots on the OH about transcontinental travel, I'm sure there are As, Angels and Ms fans who are just as worried about the Os coming to town.

Let's go 9-1 and just coast the rest of the way.

[saltman241]

4-6 +- 1 game either way. Even at 3-7 we still come home in first place.

[hendu]

7-3. We'll beat Samardzija and the King.

I think they're going to 6-4 or better and have an above .500 10 game road trip.

The A's, Angels, and Mariners are all good teams, but I think we are just as good or even better.

I think we have to remember the A's and Angels have the best records, but they also get the pleasure of playing the Astros and Rangers in their division. In the past it would just have been the Astros who would help prop up their winning percentag, but with the Rangers injuries and how bad they have played, that is 2 teams each of them and the Mariners get to beat up on their division.

[Aristotelian]

10-0. They'll come home at 62-42. Book it. They haven't won more than 5 in a row in years. Perfect time to go on a 10 game winning streak.

O's won the last game before the break, so this would make it an 11 game streak.

This. Jet lag should not be a factor. Leggo.

[scOtt]

Ten and oh.

[birdsfever82]

I'd bet my house they don't go 10-0, but if they do they'll be facing the Cardinals in the WS!
