You have to look at what the others claimed. On that last one, for example, one host claimed 15.17 while yours claimed 0.84. The average of the two is 8.005. I'm not sure if this is how it is supposed to work though. I thought the new validator discarded the upper and lower value and granted the average of all the rest (usually just the third one). Maybe it was validated before the 3rd host reported so it was forced to do a 2 host average.
