Analyst of the Year VI

Movement on the leader board as four Analysts make a play for the inside lanes down the back stretch of the Marathon of the Ass!

Atwork (5 Trifectas, 18 Correct Picks) continues to set a blistering pace in Season VI. He runs a full length ahead of his nearest challengers.

With 4 Trifectas each, tiebreakers clearly sort out the top of the leader board for the first time. Craft Brew (17 Correct Picks) moves into sole possession of second place, just ahead of The Bookie (16 Correct Picks) in third place and Jimmy V (14 Correct Picks) in fourth place.

B-Reezy has quietly moved up the field in the past three weeks. He is now in a dead heat with Roxy Trot and Little Tuna for fifth place — each boasts 3 Trifectas and 16 Correct Picks.

Perennially front runner Big Tuna uncommonly falls to the back of the field in eighth place with 2 Trifectas and 15 Correct Picks.

He leads a pack of Analysts with 1 Trifecta each, separated by tiebreakers: Sponge Mom and Woody tied for ninth (13 Correct Picks each), KateTDid in eleventh (11 Correct Picks), and Wise Orangutan in twelfth position (9 Correct Picks).

The Strategist (0 Trifectas and 10 Correct Picks) remains in last place.

Standings | Player Haters Preakness VI | Leg 3

Player Haters Preakness VI

Several Analysts regain their footing around the near turn to add a *base* Trifecta to their totals. The front runner, however, kept up his pace to build a comfortable lead down the home stretch!

Atwork (21 points) adds a *base* Trifecta to hold onto first place with a 9-point lead over his nearest contenders.

Also notching *base* Trifecta, The Bookie (12 points) moves into second place, nosing out B-Reezy (12 points) in third place with 1 Correct Home Team Pick. Craft Brew (9 points) moves into contention with a *base* Trifecta to hold fourth place alone.

In the middle of the field, seven Analysts are in a tight contest for fifth place with 6 points each. Tiebreakers don’t produce a clear leader, but Sponge Mom and Little Tuna have head-to-head tiebreakers over Jimmy V and Woody, respectively. Roxy Trot leads the midfield with 4.0 turnovers per game (third tiebreaker), Big Tuna and Wise Orangutan lag with 1.0 turnover per game. Too close to call around the near turn!

Trotting around the track, The Strategist is in twelfth place with 3 points while KateTDid trails with 0 points.

Player Haters Preakness VI | Standings | Leg 2
Standings after Leg 2 of Player Haters Preakness VI

Atwork has a 9-point lead (more than a *base* Trifecta) on his nearest challengers. Currently, three Analyst trail him by 15 points and 2 Correct Home Team Picks. As always, full or partial Box Outs may be likely in the final two legs!

Scenarios

Eighteen points is the maximum possible in a Leg of the Player Haters Preakness, and that is only possible with 3 Player Hater Picks. With tiebreakers and a 9-point lead, the following are the risks of elimination for each Analyst if Atwork earns a *lame* Trifecta or better AND remains 2 Correct Home Team Picks ahead:

For the Win: Atwork can eliminate The Strategist, Jimmy V, and KateTDid if he scores 3 or more points than they do this week. Likewise, Atwork can eliminate Craft Brew, Big Tuna, Little Tuna, and Sponge Mom if he scores 6 or more points than they score this week. Roxy Trot and Woody have at least 1 Correct Home Team Pick, so Atwork may need a combination of 6 or more points AND 1 more Correct Home Team Pick to eliminate either. B-Reezy, Wise Orangutan, and The Bookie are safe unless Atwork earns a Player Haters Trifecta (12 or more points).

For the Place: Currently, the race for second is wide open since the leaders are separated from the back of the field by only 6 points.

Standings | Player Haters Preakness VI | Leg 2

Player Haters Preakness VI

The Analysts are struggling with a dead track in the first two legs of the Preakness! There were no *base* Trifectas down the back stretch and only *lame* Trifectas separate the field.

Atwork (15 points) extends his first place lead over the rest of the field to 9 points after netting a *lame* Trifecta.

With 6 points each, Wise Orangutan moves into second place, nosing out B-Reezy in third and The Bookie in fourth by third tiebreaker. Wise Orangutan’s Home Team has 2.0 turnovers per game played [tpgp], vs. B-Reezy’s 1.5 tpgp and The Bookie’s 0.0 tpgp.

In the middle of the field with 3 points each, tiebreakers sort the field. Roxy Trot (2 Correct Home Team Picks) moves into fifth place, followed closely by Woody (1 Correct Home Team Pick) who falls into sixth place. With no Correct Home Team Picks, they are followed by Sponge Mom in (2.5 tpgp) in seventh and Craft Brew (2.0 tpgp) in eighth. Big Tuna (0.5 tpgp) and Little Tuna (0.5 tpgp) are in a dead heat for ninth position.

Still struggling to get a feel for the track conditions, at 0 points each, The Strategist (5.0 tpgp) in eleventh edges out KateTDid (2.0 tpgp) in twelfth and Jimmy V (1.5 tpgp) at the back of the field.

Spit Box: 

1. If I have to go with loser-y Winston (17.4% against teams with a winning record!), I may as well go with loser-y Cousins as well (16.7% against teams with a winning record)...oh, hell, and J-E-T-S, Jets! Jets! Jets!

2. These teams need a win as much as I do!

3.  I am hoping one of these teams pulls a surprise win.  Two would make me ecstatic particularly if it is the Bucs. 

4. Hoping for a trifecta this week!!
