Major flaws: White owns her acept; Blue doesn't own his 6-pt. Of these two, one can be corrected, maybe even this turn.

A couple other things worthy of note: A) Blue has nearly complete control of both outfields. B) only Blue's {21,66,62} don't hit on Blue's 6-pt. Failing to return hit in those scenarios (some of which are impossible due to Blue making his 6-pt now) -- 4/36 + (27/36)*(19/36) = (144 + 513)/1296 = 647/1296 ~ 50% -- and White is on the road to not simply losing, but getting G'ed.

This isn't looking like a Take, so then the question comes up: "is it too good?" Does Blue want to accept being on roll, on the bar, after hitting loose and getting rehit on his 6-pt, which happens over 1/3 of the time? I don't think so since IMO those are (admittedly not so appetizing) Takes for White.

R+P.
