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
100%
How many landed inside their 80% range. One night is a small sample.
| Pitcher | Projected | 80% range | Actual | Miss | Big night |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Drew RasmussenHe collects strikeouts at a league-average clip (22%), facing a lineup that strikes out about as often as anyone (22%), but playoff starters go shorter, so we plan on about 77 pitches and his night ends early. | 5 | 3–8 | 4 | +1.0 | 14% → no |
| Logan HendersonHe brings real swing-and-miss stuff, with 27% of hitters striking out against him, facing a tough lineup to put away (17%), the kind that fouls off the good ones, but playoff starters go shorter, so we plan on about 74 pitches and his night ends early. | 5 | 2–7 | 4 | +1.0 | 10% → 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.
