June Predictions

[GoudaBrew]

The month starts in less than an hour, but what-the-hey, let's get some predictions in.

 

I'm optimistic about the month of June. We've got 13 home games (including 3 interleague series') and 13 road games.

 

1 vs. HOU

3 vs. ARI

3 at COL

3 at HOU

3 vs. MIN

3 vs. TOR

3 vs. BAL

3 at ATL

3 at MIN

1 at ARI

 

I predict we go 15-11. This includes completing the sweep today, and winning every series except for the TOR series, the ATL series, and the road MIN series.

We better win the Minnesota series. I'm not sitting in the pile o' crap Metrodome to watch us lose all weekend.

 

I'll say 17-9. Forever an optimist http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

I agree that 15-11 seems realistic. However, to have any sort of a shot this year I think the team needs to go 18-8.

I don't think it's that dire. If the Cubs have a below average month, say 12-15, the Brewers could be right back in it. The Cubs finally do have some road games this month -- 17 of the 27 in fact, so I'd say about 12 wins wouldn't be a stretch. They have to slump sometime, right?

 

[kmcasper23]

The Cubs are the luckiest team on this planet! What are the percentages of winning a game when down 8-0 in the 6th? I would guess less that 0.5% but yet they still find a way to do it. I think they trailed late in every game to the Dodgers this week as well yet came back and won them all. I would hope the law of averages would catch up to them at some point but I am not sure if we will be that lucky. We may need to concentrate on getting the WC.

13-13 but gains on STL and HOU.

I have us down for 16 wins.. i think this schedule is good for a big month. I really thing we should do well with interleague play. I am hoping that there maybe a couple sweeps in this month also..

[rluzinski]

Just eyeballing it, 14-12. 15 or 16 wins would make me very happy.

3 @ Colorado? As optimistic as I would like to be we always get crushed in Colorado for some reason.

[DonMoney4Mgr]

11-15 and double digit games out of first.

[And That]

15-11.

The thing is its weird to predict. Right now on paper you say we should sweep the Orioles, but it always seems we struggle against bad teams from the AL. Hopefully we can fix that. I remember us being terrible against the Devil Rays, and the Royals in the past couple of seasons.

[splitterpfj]

I'll go with 14-12, July is the month where I see the Brewers making some noise, finishing that month at nine games over .500.

[kmcasper23]

I would like to predict that the Cubs are gonna be 10 games under .500 this month but unfortunately I don't think that is gonna happen. The Astros maybe, but the Cubs seem to have some form of luck on their side again this year.

If you think that the Brewers should expect the sweep against a below average team, I can see how you are regularly disappointed. Baltimore hasn't even been that bad this year. The Brewers had a worse record a week ago.

 

Never expect a sweep or to get swept in a 3 game series. It's simple math. You have to think that one team has an 80% or better chance of winning every game to make the sweep the likely outcome.

It has more to do with talent than anything else. The Cubs are a good team, the Astros aren't. If there's any team playing way over their heads, it's the Cardinals. I expect a below .500 month from them.

[BrewCrewForever]

I don't have a prediction per say, but I will say June will be a good month for us and we will gain some ground on the Cubs and be within striking distance.

[Ennder]

Put me down for 14-12. I like that we get Arizona while they are scuffling a little bit and we get Colorado when half their team is hurt.

[JohnBriggs12]

The Cubs have 17 road games and just 10 home games in June. They've not been invincible on the road. I don't have a prediction, but I think the Brewers have an opportunity to shave a couple games off that Cub lead.

[Glennron]

I'll say 13-13, 8-5 at home and 5-8 on the road. Toronto's pitching is quite good, I think that's the only home series they'll lose this month.

[DWadeMU3]

16-12 and the Cubs go 13-14.

 

The Scrubbies are on the road a lot and have to play the dreaded west coast swing at San Diego and LA. They also have to play the Blue Jays (as do we), the Rays (leading the AL East), the White Sox (leading the AL Central) and against Atlanta (albeit at Wrigley). I think the Scrubs come back to Earth a little bit in June. Feasting on the bottom feeders of the league (Nationals, Rockies, Pirates, etc) has been easy pickings in April in May. Especially since they played 99% of their games at home....ok, maybe that was a stretch, but didn't it SEEM like 99%?

 

Think about this: the Cubs have 8 losses at home this year - we're responsible for half of those losses. Yowza.

 

GO CREW.

That's awesome. I'd forgotten that. Right now, our head-to-head success with the Cubs is a huge asset, and I'd imagine it's going to play a large role in terms of how the season shakes out in October.

Only if it continues, which I hope it does. The best way to catch them is to beat them head to head.
