1. The Mets, coming off Thursday's thrilling victory , will drop the next three to the surprisingly resilient Diamondbacks. They will do so despite Damion Easley's four homers, six diving stops at second base and ability to open the Chase Field roof just by looking at it.
2. The Yankees will beat the Mariners Friday and Saturday, getting back to .500 at 14-14, before losing on Sunday. On Sunday evening, George Steinbrenner's spokesman Howard Rubenstein will release a statement_ attributed to the Yankees' principal owner _ that will give votes of confidence to Darrell Rasner, Wil Nieves and Carl Pavano.
3. On Friday, the Washington Nationals will trade outfielder Ryan Langerhans to the Dodgers for outfielder Brady Clark. On Saturday, the Dodgers will deal Langerhans to the Twins for outfielder Jason Tyner. On Sunday, the Twins will sell Langerhans to the Chiba Lotte Mariners of Japan's Pacific League, for $400,000 and a case of BoBeer.
4. Highly regarded Giants rookie Tim Lincecum, regarded by many scouts as similar to Tom Gordon in frame and potential, will lose to Gordon's Phillies Sunday in his big-league debut.
5. The 9:30 a.m. Sunday Pilates class, at the Ballen Isles Country Club in Palm Beach Gardens, FL, will be led by Marty Miller.

I don't know how you can make predictions such as wins/losses in all seriousness; It seems very silly as baseball is one of the most unpredictable sports.
Ken...Roger Clemens announces that he will pitch for the Mets...Barry Bonds tells the truth...Carl Pavano pitches a no-hitter.
The more you predict you will be right!
