As we approach the end of the season, we are starting to look at games of the week to be more and more critical for how the playoff seedings will go. Even KNS doesn't have the number 1 seed locked down, as they can easily fall to third in their very own division! Let's not even go into the mess in the sunrise division as anything can happen there. Too many teams with only 1 loss and ties, its insane how good the competition has gotten this season. This week treats to 4 games of the weeks, that can mess with the standings real bad. Here they are.
Game of the week #1
Who: 4 Play vs Kixxx
Where: Memo V.
Time: 8 pm
Battle of two veteran squads. Oddly enough, I can't remember if these two teams have ever played each other in the history of SCK. Which just baffles me, because they both made the championship a total of 4 times combined. Although they came up short, that's an accomplishment, and says a lot about these two teams, and thats why they easily make a game of the week. Arguably, 2 top 5 pitchers in pipi and johnny going head to head in this one. I say that they are both top 5 because they have both only allowed 4 runs all season, which makes them the best defenses in the sunrise group. The only difference I See in this game is kixxx's offense. They sport the 2nd best offense in the league, only trailing defending champs KNS. So, will Johnny and his squad hold kixxx to 0 runs like lights out did, or will kixxx run wild like they have every other game?
Spread: Kixxx -2.5
Over/Under: 6.5 runs
Predcition: Kixxx 4-1
Game of the week #2
Who: NKOTB vs Scoregasms
Where; Memo V.
Time: 8pm
Only game of the week featuring two teams from the mountain start division. With an tie earlier this season, and a tie last week to I'd Hit It last week, NKOTB has really put themselves in a bad spot, as they still have Scoregasms and thundercats on their scedule, so can possibly be looking at a play in scenario, if they can't pull of these wins. They have a great defense, but need a better offense to hang with the upper echelon of the teams, if they want to stay relevant from here on out. Scoregasms, are easily playing their best season to date, pulling an upset off earlier this season against the thundercats. A win here can lock them a playoff bid, but need to play it smart and disciplined, which I believe has been their biggest flaw.
Spread: NKOTB -.5
Over/Under: 3.5 runs
Prediction: NKOTB 2-1
Game of the week #3
Who: Shockers vs Monkeyz
Where: Modesto 1
Time: 8pm
To some people it may seem insane to think that the shockers with a 1-3-1 record keep making the game of the week category. Well what can I say, I am a believer. I truly believe that if you would've put the shockers in the mountain star division instead of NKOTB or the Scoregasms, their records would be switched. Unfortunately, they got stuck in the tougher division, and have had nothing go their way. But if they finish the season with a 2-5-1 record, I'm going to have to classify them as a mid tier team next season. What makes this game so interesting, is that these two teams have had a real competitive history while playing each other. The shockers have always been balls and dolls kryptonite, but the monkeyz have been just that to the shockers, which I believe the record stands 4-2 monkeyz. However, the shockers did win the last outing against the monkeyz, when the monkeyz recruited mike as their pitcher. So, is mike a better choice than rich? Rich holds a 4-1 advantage the shockers. I guess we will see Wednesday night.
Spread: Monkeyz -2.5
Over/Under: 6.5 runs
Prediction: Monkeyz 4-1
Game of the week #4
Who: Drinkers with a kicking problem vs Suck My Kick
Where: Modesto 1
Time: 9pm
Finally, a new school vs new school match up that means something. Had this match up happened at the beginning of the season, no one would've really cared, but because these two teams have been surprising the SCK world, its possibly the most interesting match of the week. With victories over dominant opponents from the past (shockers, 4 play, monkeyz) one can only hope one of these teams is promising enough to contend with defending champs KNS or runner up kixxx in the future. Drinkers and SMK are mirror images of each other in the athletic department. The only thing I see that makes a difference, is that Drinkers have girls that can possibly be as good as the KNS girls, however I believe the SMK guys are slightly better then the drinker guys and have a better pitcher. So all you vets out there, if you have time check this game out, and don't let them fly under the radar anymore.
Spread: Drinkers -1.5
Over/Under: 5.5 runs
Prediction: 3-3 tie

If you are going to post about games of the week maybe someone should post how they went.
