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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dustin MayHe pitches to contact, striking out only 21% of the hitters he sees, facing a lineup that rarely strikes out (18%) and keeps putting the ball in play, but playoff starters go shorter, so we plan on about 55 pitches and his night ends early. | 3 | 1–5 | 3 | 0.0 | 1% → no |
| Griffin JaxHe strikes out 23% of hitters, right around the league norm, facing a middle-of-the-pack lineup for strikeouts (22%), but we plan on about 74 pitches from him, so his night ends early. | 4 | 2–6 | 6 | -2.0 | 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.
