Fangraphs’ 2026 Projections: Pirates 20% to Win Division, 37% to Make Playoffs

  1. things are looking up, this is easily our most optimistic projection by any outlet in a decade.

    some notable teams we have a higher playoff projection % than : Padres, Guardians, Rangers, Giants, D-Backs, Rays.

    most of it has to do with our recent talent acquisition, and some of it has do with a potential down year from the NL Central. St. Louis in particular really has a chance to bottom out.

    pitchers and catchers …

  2. Better odds to make the postseason than the Guardians? And Padres?

    What a fucking joke of a model.

    Any model that has the Guardians’ odd this low is laughable.

    The Braves being predicted to have the second best record in all of baseball is also stupid.

    It’s garbage like this that turns people off more advanced stats in baseball.

  3. I have no clue how they generated these figures but I can see it.

    We made some, imo, solid adds on offense that should really help out. So long as the pitching holds up, I can see a marked improvement over the last few years.
