Every number here is a probability, not a call. Over the last 14 days the next-pitch model was graded on 34,173 real pitches: the top pick was right 39% of the time, and stated probabilities landed within 1.4 points of how often things actually happened. It grades itself every night and corrects what it can.

Each figure is the median of the simulated games with an 80% range beside it. Pitch counts are estimated from batters faced (fitted on 17,200 real outings; typical error 8 pitches). These assume the starter is not pulled early for a reason the model cannot see — an injury, a blowout, or a quick hook.

What this does not know
- starters are pulled around their own typical workload and a bullpen composite finishes, but individual relievers are not modelled, so a specific closer in a specific inning is not
- defence beyond what is already in the pitcher's line is not modelled, and neither are pinch hitters or intentional walks as a choice
- lineup not posted; using the order most recently used
- bullpen ordered by measured availability: Blake Weiman (middle, 3d rest, 46% likely); Mitch Farris (middle, 4d rest, 45% likely); Sammy Peralta (middle, 4d rest, 45% likely); Ryan Watson (middle, 6d rest, 33% likely)
- the catcher loses 2.7 strikes per 100 borderline pitches
- New York Yankees defence turns extra outs into 0.5 plays per 100 balls in play
- no weather posted yet; temperature and wind are not in this projection
