MLB Hits Projections

Hits props live and die on contact quality and matchup. We project expected hits from a plate appearance model that accounts for the opposing starter, park, and lineup slot, then grade the gap to each platform's line.

How these projections are built

01

Model plate appearances

Lineup slot and game total set expected plate appearances, the denominator for everything.

02

Project contact

Contact and BABIP expectations adjusted for the matchup produce a projected hit total and distribution.

03

Grade the gap

Projected hits minus the line becomes the edge, with over probability and a signal grade.

Frequently asked

Are hits props high variance?
Moderately. A single at bat swings the outcome, so we weight confidence and volatility heavily in the grade.
Do you adjust for the starter?
Yes. The opposing starter's profile for suppressing contact and his handedness split are central to the hits projection.
Which side does the model prefer?
The model recommends whichever side the projection favors relative to the line, with the probability shown explicitly.
