Purple Row Prediction Competition: Week 4
by Jeff Aberle on Apr 24, 2011 6:39 PM MDT

PrintHere is how the scoring works for the uninitiated. Also, from now on if the Rockies' pitching schedule gets changed up a little bit (as it has each week so far) and you picked the Colorado (or opponent) SP to win, I'll apply that prediction to the new SP unless specifically instructed not to do so. In other words, you don't have to stay up to date daily on your predictions unless you really want to.
In week four of the PRPC, the Rockies will play six games, going to Wrigley Field for three to battle the Cubs, then coming back home to take on the Pirates for three. In both cases the Rockies will be completing their season series with their opponent. Here are the pitching matchups for this week -- it looks like Esmil Rogers will be the only two start pitcher this week.
Standings After Week 3
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. The ToddFather's Goatee had the best single week with an exact score prediction 12 points , but prettyinpurple narrowly retained her lead with 38 points overall (one above my score).

CP: In at least 5 out of 6 games this week, the Rockies get a hit in the first inning.
Since today's game was rained out, is it okay to adjust my CP to be 4 games out of 5?
Or am I out of luck? (Since they’ve already had one game where they didn’t get a hit in the 1st.)
