Predict-a-Matic Results: June 28, 2008

What a pitching night. Five pitchers with game scores better than 75. And a no hitter from Jeff Weaver (with relief help), but he lost anyway.

Pretty good pitcher results. Lots of A and B grades and no Fs. The Boom Pitchers look good with the average GS, but included Vazquez and Lester, who gave two of the worst performances. The Boom Hitters were so-so...they did about what you'd expect from good hitters. The Bust Pitchers were pretty accurate. The Bust Hitters were a little better than you might expect, except weak in the power department (only a .369 slugging pct). Game predictor was again useless.
