MLB Pitcher Strikeout Projections

We simulate a starter's outing pitch by pitch, the expected innings, batters faced, and whiff rate against the projected lineup, then compare our strikeout projection to every platform's line. The gap is the edge, graded and tracked live.

How these projections are built

01

Project the outing

Expected innings and batters faced set the ceiling, and opponent contact and chase rates set the whiff rate.

02

Adjust the environment

Umpire strike zone tendencies, park, and lineup handedness shift the strikeout distribution.

03

Grade the gap

Projected K's minus the posted line becomes a signed edge, graded A+ to D against calibration history.

Frequently asked

How accurate are the strikeout projections?
Pitcher strikeouts are one of our best calibrated markets. Every projection is logged before first pitch and graded in the Model Room, never cherry picked.
Do you account for the umpire?
Yes. Called strike tendencies of the home plate umpire meaningfully shift strikeout distributions and are part of the environment adjustment.
Which platforms are compared?
PrizePicks, Underdog, and Sleeper where the market is offered. Lines differ, so the same projection can grade differently by platform.
