MLB Pitcher Projections

How Our MLB Pitcher Projections Work

As part of our MLB player projections, we currently generate our MLB pitcher projections on this page using advanced modeling techniques, which simulate every matchup across the league. We factor in season-long and predictive pitching data, adjusting for pitching matchups, ballpark factors and the scoring environment for each game.

Whether you're playing MLB fantasy baseball, analyzing prop bets or building a DFS lineup, these projections offer a sharper, more reliable foundation than surface-level stats. For a complete view, pair them with our MLB hitter projections to cover both sides of the diamond.

Data Collection & Analysis

Our engine analyzes thousands of data points, focusing on:

• Strikeouts: Projected using historical strikeout rates, matchup context, and game environment.
• Earned Runs: Modeled based on historical ERA, matchup difficulty, and ballpark adjustments.
• Opponent Matchups: Simulated using the expected opposing lineup, scoring expectations, and team totals.

Whether you're tracking a high-strikeout ace like Paul Skenes of the Pittsburgh Pirates or evaluating mid-rotation arms, our MLB pitcher projections today give you the clearest outlook for every start.

Matchup and Contextual Factors

We don't just look at season averages. Our projections zoom in on today's game-specific conditions:

• Pitching Matchup Adjustments: Reflecting how a pitcher profiles against the opposing lineup.
• Ballpark Factors: Accounting for stadium effects on scoring and home runs.
• Scoring Environment: Based on game totals and team totals from betting markets.

This layered approach produces sharper, more actionable MLB pitcher projections tailored to each slate.

What's Included in Our MLB Pitcher Projections?

Our projections table covers the essential pitching metrics you need:

• Strikeouts: Projected based on matchup tendencies and historical rates.
• Earned Runs (ERA): Adjusted for ballpark, opponent strength, and scoring environment.

You can sort and filter the table and export the data to integrate into DFS tools or betting research—alongside our MLB hitter projections for full slate builds.
