NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 19&20, 1st-place Seefeldt the Glasscock will share a couple of pitchers with 2nd-place Dios Mios (hcp 109). The Glasscock is expected to roll a little low, yet still manage to win the series; while Dios Mios are forecast to drop their average a bit while they avoid getting swept.
- Moving to lanes 21&22, 3rd-place Bad Newz Kennels will throw some gutter balls with 4th-place Cannonbelt Run (hcp 36). The Kennels might maintain their current strength as they get swept; while Cannonbelt ought to raise their average while they rack up a sweep.
- Then, over on lanes 23&24, 5th-place Sh!t, I Don't Know will chuck some balls with 6th-place Split Happens (hcp 97).
