There is still a subjective element, however. If the pitcher gave a stud performance and his stud% was high, I give myself extra credit for predicting the possibility of a stud performance. Likewise if the pitcher bombed and his bomb% was high. In this case, I'd say the percentages have to be 28% or more to get the bonus. I'm not sure that's the "right" cutoff, but it isn't exactly scientific.
Conversely, if a pitcher gave a stud performance and his stud% was very low, I should be docked a grade for not realizing the stud possibility. Likewise for a pitcher who bombs when his bomb% was low. On the low side, I'd say the percentages have to be about 14% or lower.
The Big Games predictions were pretty bad -- not unexpected, since predicting four ABs out of an entire season's worth is pretty much impossible. The power numbers were pretty good. The batting average was horrible.
And the W-L predictor was also bad. Pure randomness could have gotten me to .500.
A C- for the whole day, I think.
