PC-Fecta Derby IV | Scenarios
Every Analyst can win the race. An Analyst can earn all 4 points if they pick their Home Team in a winning trifecta AND also get the offensive and defensive bonus points. Those Analysts in the back half need two or more points to overtake the Big Tuna, which means they will have to take their Home Team to win the PC-Fecta Derby.
Here is the strength of points and tiebreakers from best to worst:
Front runners —
Big Tuna(3 points): Big has the second tiebreaker over all other Analysts except Little Tuna and The Strategist at the moment! His Home Team also has the best point differential per game. He has had no head-to-head competitions this month.
Wise Orangutan (3 points): Wise O. only has one Correct Home Team selection and his team is the third worst in point differential per game. He will lose most tiebreakers, so needs to win outright for the best chance.
If Big Tuna and Wise O. do not earn any points, then…
Middle of the pack —
The Strategist, Little Tuna, and B-Reezy (2 points) Strategist and Little Tuna have two Correct Home Team Selections and positive point differential per game. If their Home Team can pull off one more win they may close the distance on the frontrunners and win by virtue of tiebreakers. B-Reezy needs to take his Home Team and win outright (2+ points) to overtake nearly every other Analyst.
Back Half —
Atwork and Craft Brew (1 point): Both Analysts can win in a photo finish (by tiebreakers) if their Home Teams win big and they select their Team to win. However, the Big Tuna, Strategist, and Little Tuna will gain an edge if they correctly pick their Home Team to win in the Homestretch. Both likely need the offensive point bonus to contend.
The Bookie and Kal Krome (0 points): The Bookie will need to take all four points AND hope that Big Tuna or Wise Orangutan does not earn one point (the Secretariat strategy). Kal Krome is in a similar position, but there is an outside chance he can win a tiebreaker with Big Tuna and Wise Orangutan, if his Home Team wins BIG and the front runners’ teams lose BIGGER.
