How Points Work

Ottoneu Six Picks scoring is a slightly modified version of the FanGraphs Points system. You may not be familiar with this system, first introduced as a scoring option in ottoneu Fantasy Baseball. It is based off of linear weights work by Justin Merry, and you can read a FAQ about the system or more in-depth introductions to hitter points and pitcher points that he wrote on FanGraphs. If you just want the nitty-gritty, the point values per event are below.
