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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Blake SnellA strong 27% of the hitters he sees end up walking back to the dugout, facing a tough lineup to put away (21%), the kind that fouls off the good ones, but we plan on about 66 pitches from him, so his night ends early. | 5 | 2–7 | 9 | -4.0 | 10% → yes |
| Robert GasserStrikeouts aren't really his game; just 19% of hitters go down swinging, facing a pesky lineup that puts everything in play (19% strikeout rate), but we plan on about 72 pitches from him, so his night ends early. | 4 | 1–6 | 3 | +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.
