Writes at Sports Illustrated

Every take from John Pluym, including the ones still waiting →

Is John Pluym accurate? Across 16 graded calls in 1 article, John Pluym scores 62.5% accuracy and a MissedTakes Score of 0, which means their calls were no better than a naive guess on the same claims. That is a provisional record, fewer than ten graded articles, so the numbers are not yet meaningful and they are not ranked on the leaderboard.
