NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 15&16, 1st-place Anchors Aweigh! will compete against 2nd-place Bowlers of Mass Confusion (hcp 72). The Anchors are expected to maintain their current strength as they and split the series with Mass Confusion; while Mass Confusion is forecast to raise their average while they keep the series tied.
- Moving to lanes 17&18, 5th-place Wolverines will match wits with 3rd-place Bowl me Ishmael! (hcp 74). The Wolverines might perform well and win the series; while Ishmael ought to raise their average even as they avoid getting swept.
- Then, over on lanes 19&20, 4th-place Theee Beeelt (hcp 40) will throw some gutter balls with 6th-place Gutter Minds. Theee Beeelt will likely roll decently, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Gutter Minds will probably raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
- Finally, on lanes 21&22, 7th-place Spare Change will chuck some balls with 8th-place Atomic Goo (estimated hcp 71). Spare Change is predicted to maintain their current strength as they win the series; while Atomic Goo is anticipated to hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
