Standings | Analyst of the Year VII | Leg 6

Analyst of the Year VII

The back stretch of the Marathon of the Ass is proving to be a heavy track. Only three Trifectas in two weeks from our field of thirteen Analysts. After 6 weeks, the Trifecta rate (Total Trifectas divided by Possible Trifectas) has fallen to 42% — the WFTL average over the first six seasons! The more things change…

As the only Analyst with a Trifecta rate above 50%, Jimmy V leads by a length with 4 Trifectas and 15 Correct Picks. A streaker by disposition (he earned 7 of his 10 Trifectas in Season VI during an eight week stretch!), he may be in another slump…Fortunately for him, none of the competition seems to be getting close enough to see Jimmy V go streaking again!

Within striking distance of the lead with 3 Trifectas and (also) 15 Correct Picks, Atwork and The Strategist give no ground to the front runner, sharing second place.

At 3 Trifectas and 14 Correct Picks, Craft Brew moves up into a tie for fourth place with B-Reezy and Wise Orangutan. Big Tuna slips into seventh place at 3 Trifectas and 13 Correct Picks..

In a tie for eighth place, Sponge Mom and KateTDid gain some separation from the back of the field with 2 Trifectas and 13 Correct Picks (+2) in Week 6. Woody gallops from the back of the field to take tenth place alone with 2 Trifectas and 12 Correct Picks.

The Bookie and Little Tuna struggle to add to their Correct Picks total, falling down the board into a tie for eleventh place 2 Trifectas and 11 Correct Picks. Roxy Trot (1 Trifecta and 10 Correct Picks) closes some of the Correct Pick deficit, but still trails in thirteenth position.

Standings | Player Haters Preakness VII | Leg 2

Player Haters Preakness VII

The Run of the Black-Eyed Analysts has been marred by an abundance of comity! In Leg 2, no Player Hater bonus was possible, and yet only one Analyst could eke out a Trifecta…Meh!

With the only Trifecta of Leg 2, Woody (9 points) surges into first place. She edges out Atwork (9 points) in second place by a head (1 Correct Home Team Pick).

In third place, B-Reezy (6 points, 1 Correct Home Team Pick) noses out The Strategist (6 points, 1 Correct Home Team Pick) by virtue of da Bears’ 2.0 forced turnovers per game (tpg) vs. the Chiefs’ 1.0 tpg.

In a crowded midfield for fifth place at 3 points each, Jimmy V, Craft Brew, Roxy Trot, Sponge Mom, Wise Orangutan and KateTDid jockey for the open rail. KateTDid has the advantage with 2 Correct Home Team Picks.

Heading into the near turn, a few Analysts can’t seem to gin up the animosity necessary to Win. At 0 points each, The Bookie, Big Tuna and Little Tuna misplace their hate in first two Legs of the Player Haters Preakness.
