Hi there -- I know it's been a while. A lot of things have changed and a lot of things have remained the same.

Backend Metrics Dashboard Signal Triage for Cron Jobs and API Failures

How well do player projections predict team wins? I froze MLB 2026 first, then checked

Every spring there are plenty of "how many games will each team win" projections. Most of them build a forecast for each player and add the players up by team.
