Time for your May Predictions - 2021

[Eye Black]

Well this worked so well for April that I guess we should probably do it again. Get your predictions in even if they’re a day or two into the start of May.

14-14. I was wrong last month, but I’ll double down and say the Brewers tread water in May only to go on an epic tear through the month of June.

@Nationals 2-1

Tigers 0-1

 

14-14 is what I came up with. Therefore my guess is 16-12 given my inaccuracy in April.

[RollieTime]

16-12

 

Offense starts to get healthy while the starting staff regresses slightly, but remains a top 5 rotation in MLB.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Dodgers 1-1

@Phillies 2-2

@Marlins 1-2 (scrappy team tough to figure out)

Cardinals 2-1

Braves 2-1

@Royals 2-0

@Reds 2-1

Padres 2-2

@Nationals 2-1

Tigers 1-0

 

17-11

 

With Yelich and Cain back shortly, the offense starts to pull its weight.

[MrTPlush]

12-16...assuming Yelich and Cain come back healthy...and stay healthy.

 

I think the pitching has to come down to earth a bit and I’m not confident the offense goes on a tear to make up for it. The injuries eventually have to catch up to them too. I then predict a rebound record wise in June when the team is well rounded.

Dodgers 0-2

Braves 1-2

@Royals 1-1

@ Reds 1-2

Padres 2-2

@Nats 2-1

Tigers 1-0

 

Record: 12-16

 

Injuries are going to catch up to them sooner than later and the pitching just cant stay this good.

Most seasons the best team is still going to lose like fifty games & the worst team is still going to win about fifty, so any given team's season essentially comes down to what they do with those sixty two or so games in the middle.

 

Here's how I've got the Brewers April...

 

Wins (7-0): 6th 4-0 | 10th 9-5 | 11th 9-3 | 14th 7-0 | 17th 7-1 | 20th 6-0 | 25th 6-0

 

Losses (0-5): 4th 2-8 | 16th 1-6 | 23rd 2-15 | 26th 0-8 | 28th 2-6

 

Either/Or (9-5): 1st 6-5 (10) | 3rd 0-2 | 5th 3-5 | 8th 1-3 | 10th 4-2 (10) | 12th 6-3 | 13th 2-3 | 18th 5-6 (10) | 19th 3-1 | 21st 4-2 | 24th 4-3 | 27th 5-4 | 29th 2-1 | 30th 3-1

 

Figured I'd do the same breakdown for May as I did for April...

 

Wins (3-0): 8th 6-2 | 23rd 9-4 | 29th 6-2

 

Losses (0-5): 2nd 4-16 | 7th 1-6 | 15th 1-5 | 21st 4-9 | 25th 1-7

 

Either/Or (10-10): 1st 6-5 (11) | 3rd 3-4 | 4th 5-6 | 5th 4-5 | 6th 0-2 | 9th 2-1 (10) | 11th 1-6 (10) | 12th 4-1 | 13th 0-2 | 14th 3-6 | 16th 10-9 | 18th 0-2 | 19th 4-6 | 22nd 4-3 | 24th 5-3 | 26th 1-2 (10) | 27th 6-5 (10) | 29th 4-1 | 30th 3-0 | 31st 3-2 (10)

 

That brings the season total to 10 wins, 10 losses and 19-15 in either/or games.

 

Run differential is +52 in wins, -68 in losses & +4 in either/or.

Brewers May record by my accounts:

 

13-15

 

The Brewers were 8-15, but were saved by a 5 game win streak to end the month.

That's one way to slice it up.

 

Another way to slice it up would be to say they went 12-9 after a 1-6 start to the month.

 

I think their end of season winning percentage will end up a lot closer to .571 (12-9) than it will to .348 (8-15).
