As for the last few games of the season, all I can say is that if you fared poorly, take some solace that you are very much not alone, and the summer season provides a clean slate for all. (Again, there should be in the general vicinity of a dozen games from yesterday through August.)
A huge thanks to all who participated, from the one-timers to the elite few who played all 62. I hope this is as fun and challenging an experience as it is from my end!

Though pessimism reigned in the last three over/unders, there were still 35 Overs vs. 23 Unders for the full season (or 60% Over). This nearly cancelled out the Under bias from season one (39 Over vs. 54 Under), so maybe now we can settle at the roughly 50/50 breakdown that I strive for. The contestants chose Over 58% of the time (644 to 471), nearly matching the actual results.
