Purple Row Prediction Competition: Week 3

by Jeff Aberle on Apr 17, 2011 7:51 PM MDT

Here is how the scoring works for the uninitiated.

In week three of the PRPC, the Rockies will play six games, hosting the Giants for three, then taking to the road to play the Marlins.. Here are the pitching matchups for this week -- it looks like Esmil Rogers will be the only two start pitcher this week, while Ubaldo Jimenez looks to make a triumphant return on Tuesday.

Standings After Week 2

Remember when looking at this that my scoring (especially on crazy predictions) is sometimes pretty arbitrary. I am very open to playing favorites if bribes are involved. Ebezz had the best single week with an exact score prediction and a correct 4 point crazy prediction for 20 points, but prettyinpurple retained the lead with 32 points overall.
