2026 MLB Projections

[RAY@HQ]

So when I click on your depth charts page for a reliever like Bryan Abreu from the Astros - you show 30% save allocation and 20% hold allocation which translates into 12 saves and 19 holds on the depth charts page. But then I when go to your 2026 projections file you have 12 saves allocated for him but zero holds. Why is that and when will your depth charts and projections be in sync?

I think we've explained this before. Projections on the site update hourly. The CSV files update daily. Abreu's projected Holds were updated today on the site. They will be reflected in the CSV tomorrow morning. The daily CSV always reflects the latest projections at the time it is generated. Then we update projections on the site only for the next 24 hours, and the CSV catches up again the next morning. So depending on when you download the CSV, it is somewhere between 0 and 24 hours behind the info on the site.

In addition on your depth charts page you don't have a column for projected quality starts or projected quality starts percentages. If a starter starts "x" amount of games and gets "y" amounts of quality starts - is there a way for us to monitor that on the depth charts pages as we do for holds and saves percentages as they might change as the offseason unfolds and roles change? Thanks again.

Quality Starts projections are reflected on the Playerlink projections, on the 2026 projections table, and in the CSV files. They are not, as you note, reflected on the Depth Chart pages.

QS are not allocated as "X% of Y starts" the way Holds and Saves are. We use the pitcher's history of PQS scores to derive an individual QS projection.

Thanks Ray - My disconnect was that I had no idea that you adjusted Abreu's projected holds from zero to 19 or from 0% to 30% just today on the site/depth charts page.
