Composition of Projections:
2023 Actuals: 83.9%
Preseason Projections: 16.1%
Season Projections
After a great August at the plate, the Astros start September with 4 hits.
Nice innings from Maton and Stanek, plus a bonus from Kuhnel after a shaky start.
Bullpen Usage
Not Verlander’s best night, but even when that’s the case he managed 6 innings, saving an arm or two and that along with Thursdays off and expanded rosters is a good thing for the Astros bullpen.
Today’s Pitching Matchup
I would expect some runs tonight, perhaps from both sides.
Projected Standings
All three AL West contenders lost Friday and the projections remain incredibly close.
