Freakonomics does The Wire, episode 4

I missed this one yesterday, but Sudhir Venkatesh and his gang of merry pranksters are back for episode four. The thugs pose a question to Freakonomics readers:
“I want them to tell us whether Marlo will kill Omar, or the other way around,” said Orlando, picking at his teeth, like a Southern gentleman on his front porch. “I want to see how smart they are.”

“Yeah,” Flavor pushed on. “And I want them to say exactly how it’s going to go down. Because you know what this whole thing is leading up to … Good versus Evil — if you can tell the difference around here.”

I love it! It's free markets vs. socialism!
So who's going down, Omar, Marlo, Michael?
I'll go against the popular vote and say Omar, because David Simon is all about being unsatisfying.
Michael, definitely.
Alma + McNulty, totally.
