The projection as it was published, not as we would write it today.
Every number below was frozen before the first pitch and has not been touched since. Nothing is recomputed with today’s model, so a night that went badly still reads badly. Pick any night and check us.

Inside the range
50%
How many landed inside their 80% range. One night is a small sample.
| Pitcher | Projected | 80% range | Actual | Miss | Big night |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aaron NolaHe strikes out 22% of hitters, right around the league norm, facing a tough lineup to put away (21%), the kind that fouls off the good ones, but we plan on about 65 pitches from him, so his night ends early. | 4 | 2–6 | 1 | +3.0 | 2% → no |
| Ray KerrHe pitches to contact, striking out only 19% of the hitters he sees, facing a lineup that rarely strikes out (20%) and keeps putting the ball in play, but he's been a bullpen arm all year, so this start runs short (~55 pitches, the way first starts after a relief stretch go). | 3 | 1–5 | 2 | +1.0 | 1% → no |
Miss is projected minus actual: positive means we projected more strikeouts than he threw. An actual shown in red landed outside its 80% range. Openers and short assignments are voided and never counted.
