So I actually would have had a higher score if my pick were correct than I did as an incorrect?

That hadn't occurred to me

The design for reverse sheep is that any answer that sheep's would probably be correct

A possible fix would be to make incorrect scoring being the overall most popular answer, (whether it's correct or incorrect) + (# of corrects)

Obviously we won't change scoring mid-contest, just something to think about for next time.

So Padres pickers, enjoy those 2 points on the house

Just looked at my pick for #12, picking a NL player was probably not a good strategy

Going for the rare early season league switch all star ace. Aggressive strategy.

Think I actually remember my choice for this one, but still don't know if it's right or wrong.

Meant to do the reveal during the derby, but got sucked into a Stars homegame where we settle over venmo.

Was up +4 buyins at one point but quit at +2 so it was still fun.

Anyway, Who's ready for the anti-climactic Question 11 Reveal!

For this question, there were 19 correct answers, and 28 incorrect answers.

Under the circumstances, we'll do this review a little differently and start with the corrects.

Your SHEEP answer was played by EIGHTEEN of you. Home Run Derby IN Miami? Giancarlo Stanton is free money.

Our only other correct was a bold play on Miguel Sano. Congrats to alekhine8 for picking him, as he's the only big mover on this question!

So incorrects get 20, Giancarlo backers get 18, and alekhine8 soars up the board with the ace!

The remaining field of the Home Run Derby, obviously, went un-guessed. So our un-guessed corrects are:

Aaron Judge
Cody Bellinger
Justin Bour
Charlie Blackmon
Gary Sanchez
Mike Moustakas
