I'm passing as White. Blue has 26 hitting numbers (direct 3's and 5's, plus 21 41 61). I think White can cash(?) on the 10 missing numbers, but cannot play on. So White wins 10 games. But Blue's hitting numbers are all pretty gammonish.

White has some winning chances after a hit, especially owning the cube, but I think these are outweighed by Blue's gammon chances by enough to overcome the cushion (winning 10 games after a miss vs. 9 needed to take).
