Projections

Daily simulation center

A forecast is a range of game stories, not one final score

The simulator turns current game inputs into transparent win probabilities, score ranges, matchup drivers, bullpen effects, and player opportunities, with uncertainty visible everywhere.

Daily forecast board Today’s slate, ordered by first pitchProbable starters, posted orders, active rosters, park, first-pitch weather, recent workload, and bullpen availability
Live input assembly · September 09, 2026

Today’s projection inputs

BaseballR supplies the schedule, probable starters, posted orders, and active rosters. Park coordinates route each game to Open-Meteo: the displayed temperature, wind, rain chance, and conditions come from the forecast hour nearest first pitch, while a separate five-hour game window tracks changing rain and gust risk.

Current boundary: a resolved input row is not the same as a validated forecast. Starter, lineup, active-roster bullpen, and temperature effects now enter the score model; park factors, fresh reliever workload, and out-of-time calibration remain open gates.
Player simulation board · 2,000 draws per lineup

Player outcomes now live inside the game simulation

Confirmed orders are simulated through two continuous phases: the probable starter, then the opposing active-roster bullpen. The same draws produce full-game hitter lines and starter strikeout distributions.

Starter + bullpen Monte Carlo

Home-run probability leaders

Full-game hitter draws include posted batting-order opportunity, the probable starter, the active-roster bullpen quality layer, and the run environment.

How to read it: each percentage is the share of simulated games in which the player reached that threshold. Posted batting-order opportunity, starter matchup, bullpen quality, park, and weather all move the distribution.

Public model audit

What the archived forecasts have actually done

Every number below comes from a prediction saved before first pitch and graded after the game became final.

Final-total error3.54Mean absolute runs
Player props graded72,828Across published event types
Average prop gap1.8%Prediction vs. observed rate
Reading the audit: accuracy describes winner selection, while the calibration gap asks whether an event projected at a given rate occurred at roughly that rate. The sample is still growing and is reported without hiding misses.
Forecast boundary: these are probabilistic research outputs, not betting advice. The public audit is updated from forecasts archived before first pitch.

The board is rebuilt from the latest available schedule, probable starters, posted lineups, active rosters, park conditions, first-pitch weather, recent workload, and bullpen availability. These are probabilistic research outputs rather than betting advice.
