Player Haters Preakness VI | Home Teams — Home Teams for Player Haters Preakness VI

Slate of Games

The Player Haters Preakness looks to be challenging this year as the Slate of Games narrows from 11 Games in Leg 1, to 9 Games in Legs 2 and 3, and then only 8 games in Leg 4. Due to head-to- head competition and bye weeks for Home Teams, games with un-Claimed teams eligible for Player Haters *bonuses* are more limited!

Leg 1 features a head-to-head between Atwork and Little Tuna, as well as KateTDid and Wise Orangutan. Leg 2 pits Sponge Mom against Jimmy V. Leg 3 has Wise Orangutan versus Atwork, Big Tuna versus KateTDid, and Woody versus Little Tuna. Leg 4 has B-Reezy against KateTDid, Woody against The Bookie, The Strategist against Sponge Mom, and Atwork against Craft Brew. Head-to-head games are not eligible for Player Haters bonuses because both teams are Claimed.

Home teams owned by an Analyst are in bold. The team at the left is the visiting team; the team at the right is the host (playing at home). There are many featured games: three Thursday nights (TNF), all four Sunday nights (SNF), and three Monday nights (MNF).

Picks

Remember: Every Analyst has a bias for his or her Home Team and may NOT pick their Claimed team to lose. Analysts do not have to pick his or her Home Team to win.

Email picks in private to The Bookie before each Leg (week) of the Race. Thursday games are due by 2pm on Thursdays (flexible per The Bookie’s time in special circumstances). All Sunday and Monday Picks are due on Saturdays at 2pm. No Picks for games after kickoffs are accepted.

Final Standings

The Fastest Four Weeks in Sports Analysis lives up to its billing!

Headed into the final stretch, a handful of Analysts had set a blistering pace with three Trifectas in the first three Legs. But, the final stretch proved to be a challenge for many Analysts. Coming out of the near turn, Roxy Trot held a slim lead over Craft Brew and his offensive juggernaut. Could she hold off his final charge?

And the winner is…

Craft Brew! With his third *base* Trifecta of the Derby and third *offense bonus*, Craft Brew finishes with the Win down the stretch with 46 points. Roxy Trot’s Home Team delivered, but she added only 4 points in the final stretch and Placed with 38 points.

Little Tuna (27 points) Shows, edging past Atwork (24 points) who finished fourth after the final Leg.

Each with 21 points and 3 Correct Home Team Picks, KateTDid galloped from the back of the field to take 5th place, nosing out Jimmmy V and The Bookie for fifth place on third tiebreaker (7.0 pdpg vs. 5.3 and 4.3, respectively.)

Finishing at the back of the field, we have Big Tuna (19) in eighth, B-Reezy (17) in ninth, Woody (16) in tenth place, and Sponge Mom (12) in eleventh place.

The Strategist (9) sneaks past Wise Orangutan (9) for twelfth on third tiebreakers.

PC-Fecta Derby VI | Standings | Leg 3 — Standings after Leg 3 of PC-Fecta Derby VI

Roxy Trot (34 points) remains in first place, but followed closely by Craft Brew (32 points). Only Little Tuna (24), Atwork (24), Jimmy V (21), and The Bookie (21) can overtake the two leaders for the Win. Big Tuna (16) can catch Craft Brew for the Place.

B-Reezy (13), Wise Orangutan (9), Sponge Mom (12), Woody (13), and KateTDid (14) are eliminated from the Purse, but can still earn a Show.

The Strategist (6) is eliminated from The Winner’s Circle.

Scenarios

There are 17 points possible in the final Leg if an Analyst hits the *base* Trifecta PLUS all *bonus* points. Even if one of the trailing Analysts earn those points, Roxy Trot or Craft Brew may take the Win with a *base* Trifecta.

For Win or Place:

If Roxy Trot earns a *base* Trifecta with her Home Team OR takes the *Offense bonus* points, she will have at least 41 points, enough to eliminate all but Craft Brew. A *lame* Trifecta for 3 to 4 points may be enough for the Win or Place if Craft Brew also fades down the stretch and no Analyst earns 14+ points (*base* Trifecta plus *Offense bonus*).

Craft Brew is in a similar position if he overtakes Roxy Trot, but he needs a *base* Trifecta and *Defense bonus* points to score enough (42) to eliminate the trailing Analysts for the Win or the Place. Any score less than 42 points is vulnerable to Little Tuna and Atwork, while any score less than 38 points is also open to Jimmy V and The Bookie.

Little Tuna and Atwork trail the leader by 10 points, so they need the *base* Trifecta and *Defense bonus* OR the *lame* Trifecta and *Offense bonus* points at a minimum. The *base* Trifecta plus both *Offense* and *Defense* bonus points will take them to 41 points, enough for Place if Craft Brew does not ALSO tie for either of those bonuses.

Jimmy V and The Bookie likely will need the max 17 points to have a comfortable chance at Place or Win. If Craft Brew or Roxy Trot fail to score any points, then a *base* Trifecta and *Offense bonus* points (14 total) may be enough for Place at the least.

Big Tuna cannot take the Win. He has an outside chance to Place if the leaders falter down the final stretch AND he alone earns the *bonuses* for 17 total points. He will reach 33 points and edge one length ahead of Craft Brew.

Standings | PC-Fecta Derby VI | Leg 3

PC-Fecta Derby VI

With her third *base* Trifecta in three weeks, Roxy Trot (34 points) comes out of the near turn with 2 length lead. Her nearest rival, Craft Brew (32 points), closes after netting a *lame* Trifecta and the *Offense bonus* points in Leg 3.

With her third *base* Trifecta and the *Defense bonus* points, Little Tuna 24 points makes her move to tie Atwork, who also earned a third *base* Trifecta, at 24 points. Per third tiebreaker, Little Tuna noses out Atwork for third place by point differential per game [17.7 vs. 7.7 pdpg].

With their third Trifecta in as many weeks, Jimmy V and The Bookie run neck-and-neck at 21 points. Jimmy V holds the edge for fifth place by third tiebreaker [10.3 vs. 6.3 pdpg]. Big Tuna (16 points) is in seventh place–able to Place, but just out of reach of Win.

The rest of the field has been eliminated from the Purse, but several can still earn an entry in The Winner’s Circle with a Show.

The middle of the fields is led by KateTDid (14 points) after she nets her first *base* Trifecta. B-Reezy leads Woody (13 points each) by a head for ninth place based on Home Team Correct Picks (1 vs. 0).

Sponge Mom is in the eleventh position with 12 points, trailed by Wise Orangutan (9 points) and The Strategist (6 points).
