The Entrants
The Analysts have selected their Home Teams to start the fourth annual Player Haters Preakness. The entrants are:
Slate of Games
The slate of games for the Player Haters Preakness III will prove to be a challenging test of Analyst’s foresight. With 4 head-to-head competitions this month (first tiebreaker), most Analysts will have to navigate the Run of the Black-Eyed Analysts with moxie and sweat!
In Leg 1, Atwork travels to face Little Tuna. Leg 3 pits The Strategist against B-Reezy and The Bookie forninst Craft Brew. In Leg 4, Big Tuna challenges Kal Krome. Player Hater Bonus Points may not be earned from the two head-to-head Analyst match-ups, so in each of these Legs the chance for bonus points narrows.
Leg 3 may prove to be the difference as only 4 games feature challengers that may earn bonus points. In Leg 4, only five games feature Home Team challengers.
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 less than a handful of featured games: one Thursday night, two Sunday nights, and one Monday game.
In total, six Home Teams enjoy a bye week during the Player Haters Preakness.
Picks
Remember: Every Analyst has a bias for his or her Home Team and may not pick the sponsored team to lose. Analysts do not have to pick his or her Home Team to win a trifecta. *Bonus* trifecta points are earned for picking against other Analysts’ Home Teams in a winning trifecta. See the Preakness Rules for more.
Email three picks to The Bookie before each leg (week) of the Race. The first picks are due on Saturday, October 7.
